Astana

LLWWLL

Astana won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 1-0 Premier League loss in their previous game against Shakhter Karagandy.

Roger Cañas (26') scored for Shakhter Karagandy.

Fewer than three goals per match were seen in 5 of the past 6 fixtures where Astana have been involved. With regard to the goal split in that period, opposition teams scored a total of 7 and Astana totted up 4. That kind of trend isn’t assured to be sustained into this next game, however.
