Aktobe

Aktobe have been formidable at home this season, winning eight of 11 league matches and suffering only a single defeat. They concede an average of just 0.7 goals per home game and have kept six clean sheets in front of their home supporters. Zhenys have struggled on the road with only two wins in ten away games and an average of 0.9 goals scored per away fixture, making the hosts well positioned to secure at least a point.

Aktobe are positioned ten places above Irtysh in the standings with more than double their points total (35 compared to 17). In addition, Aktobe took all three points in their previous league meeting this season with a 1-0 win. While Aktobe have been far stronger at home than on the road, Irtysh have lost 5 of their 10 home matches and won just 3 of 21 overall, making the double chance on the visitors a high-probability selection.
