Kazakhstan Cup, Semi-finals, 19.06.2024, In the second leg, Atyrau will face Kostanay's Tobol.
The hosts currently sit in fifth place in the league table. In this tournament, they have only lost to Zhetysu (0:1) and Kairat (0:1). They score fairly regularly and almost always look strong at home.
In the first match, Atyrau lost to Tobol (0:1), but the game officially ended with a score of (0:2). A very strange decision by the referees to annul the goal after the match, even if it was scored irregularly. All the bookmakers recorded the score as (0:2), but calculated the event differently. Overall, not implying anything, but the match was shady.
Kostanay's team ranks sixth in the table and has had a lacklustre season. In the last round, they defeated Kairat (1:0), but earlier, they sensationally lost at home to Kaisar (1:2). Tobol’s away form is generally poor, having lost to: Zhenis (0:2), Shakhter K (0:1), and Ordabasy (0:1).
Since 2023, the teams have met five times. Tobol has four victories (1:0, 1:0, 1:0, 1:0), while Atyrau has one (3:0).
Atyrau is unlikely to overturn a two-goal deficit, but they could certainly score once at home. I think they'll take advantage of this gift and win the match with a minimal score. I'll take the home win.
