Command Analysis

Ordabasy Shymkent

Current form
In the Kazakhstan championship, Ordabasy had many problems last season, due to which the Shymkent club failed to defend the title of national champion and even get into the top three. Following the championship, the team took fourth place in the tournament table, losing third place to Aktobe by only one point. The new season in Kazakhstan starts in March, and Ordabasy has not yet played a single friendly match. It turns out that the Kazakhstanis will play their first match in 2.5 months against a very serious opponent.
At the end of December last year, the management announced the appointment of a new head coach. It is 50-year-old Romanian specialist Andrei Martin. He has plenty of time to prepare the team for the new season.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are currently no injured players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- Ordabasy scored in the last three games
- In the last four matches, the Kazakhs have conceded
Approximate lineup: Shaizada - Astanov, Plastun, Erlanov, Suyumbayev - Zharynbetov, Tagybergen, Makarenko - Tungyshbaev - Umarov, Islamkhan.

CSKA Moscow

Current form
In the first round of the Russian Premier League, CSKA failed to show good results. Based on the results of 18 matches played, the army team is only in sixth place in the tournament table, having 31 points in its bank. Marko Nikolic charges play well in defense, because among all participants, CSKA is among the three teams with the best defense - 14 goals conceded. Only Krasnodar and Zenit have fewer - 12 each. The gap from the leaders, which are the Petersburgers and Krasnodar, is already eight points. It is unlikely that they will be able to make up for such a handicap.
On January 19, CSKA played its first friendly match with Uzbek OK MK. In that match, the army team won a confident victory with a score of 4:1. Let see if they can play as well against the Kazakh club.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are currently no injured players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- CSKA has not lost for four games in a row
- The army team scored in the last six matches
Estimated line-up: Torop - Gayich, Diveev, Rocha, Moises - Zdelar, Pjanic, Glebov - Oblyakov, Musaev, Fayzullaev.

1.80Tip and bets
For Ordabasy, this will be the first friendly match, plus the first game with a new coach and, of course, a huge desire of the players to prove themselves. CSKA does not put much emphasis on defense in friendly matches, and the goal conceded by OKMK is a perfect example of this. We believe that the Kazakhstani club will also be able to distinguish itself, but it will not be possible to keep its goal intact in a confrontation with such a powerful opponent.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.81
Bet on the outcome
Ordabasy is not such an easy opponent as many people think. During the entire last season, in all tournaments, Shymkent lost only one match with a difference of more than one goal. Yes, the club has not had any game practice in recent months, but CSKA does not play every day, and the game with the Uzbek Okmok is far from an indicator of the Moscow club power. It is unlikely that the Muscovites will be able to win so confidently against their upcoming vis-à-vis.
Our betting tip is Asian handicap (+1.5) on Ordabasy with odds of 1.69
Bet on corners
We expect an open game in which the opponents will be able to serve quite a few corners between them. We will make another bet on the over total for this indicator.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.79
