Will the home team live up to their status as the clear favorite? Find out in our prediction. What bet should you place for this event?

Command Analysis

Tobol Kostanay

Current Form
Tobol has a theoretical chance to compete for a top-3 finish, but their recent performance has been disappointing, making this unlikely. They currently trail by eight points for a European competition spot and have only managed one win in the last four matches. With such results, aiming for a place among the top teams seems futile.
Injuries and Suspensions
Ruslan Valiulin is injured and will not take to the field.
Notable Betting Trends
Tobol has scored at home in their last three matches.
The hosts conceded goals in three of their last four games.
Potential Starting Lineup:Pokatilov – Tapalov, Miladinovich, Ndiay, Arsanqulov – Ivanovich, Galym, Mosiashvili, El-Messaoudi, Enen – Kosta

Shakhter Karagandy

Current Form
Karaganda's Shakhter is the only Premier League team that has never been relegated from the top division. This season, the miners have performed poorly, and there is a real chance they may not retain their elite status, having spent considerable time at the bottom of the league table. They trail the safe spot by four points, and considering they’ve only managed to earn two points in the last eight matches, that is a significant disadvantage.
Disqualifications and Injuries
There are no injured players in the team.
Interesting Betting Trends
Shakhter has lost 12 consecutive away matches.
In three of their last four away games, Shakhter left the pitch without scoring a goal.
Projected Lineup:Shabanov – Savkiv, Stamenkovich, Campo – Kozlov, Altynkhan, Drachenko, Kanyas, Takhanov – Ashortiya, Djokic.

1.52Tip and bets
Tobol is significantly stronger than the Karaganda team, and it's unlikely that the Kostanay side will miss the chance to secure three points at home against a club that has been consistently losing lately. We predict a confident victory for the hosts, winning by a few goals.
Our recommendation is to bet on the Asian handicap (-1.5) for Tobol at odds of 1.96
Total Goals Bet
Tobol has a solid defensive performance against teams that struggle. Shakhtar fits this profile and lacks significant offensive activity. We will wager that only the home team will score.
Our prediction is that at least one team will not score with odds of 1.55
Corner Kicks Bet
Tobol averages 4.6 corner kicks, while Shakhtar averages 4.4. These figures are relatively low, so we do not expect a high number of corners in this match.
Our prediction is a total of fewer than 9.5 corners with odds of 1.60
