Kazakhstan is set to face the Faroe Islands at Astana Arena on Tuesday in a crucial Nations League C fixture that could influence the relegation race.
The home team currently sits at the bottom of the group with just one point from three games played, whereas the Faroe Islands occupy third place with three points accumulated from nine.
Match overview
A loss for Kazakhstan may leave them at least five points adrift of the three teams above them in the standings, with only six points remaining to compete for.
However, finishing fourth does not necessarily mean relegation to League D, as only the two worst-performing teams from League C will be demoted.
During those five games, the hosts have lost three times, conceding nine goals while scoring five.
Despite their loss to Moldova, Kazakhstan had previously secured three victories and one draw in their last four home games.
As for the Faroe Islands, they find themselves just one point behind second-placed Moldova, who occupy the promotion playoff spot, but they will need to start securing wins to have any chance of competing in League B.
The visitors have drawn their last three matches, all ending in 1-1 outcomes.
Their most recent match was a 1-1 stalemate with Slovakia on Friday, marking their fourth consecutive game without a loss.
In their previous encounter against Kazakhstan on September 26, Eydun Klakstein’s side came away with a 1-1 draw, resulting in a record of three wins, one draw, and one defeat against their opponents.
While the Faroe Islands have struggled on the road at times, they have managed to win three out of their last six away matches, albeit with two losses in that span.
Team News
Kazakhstan centre-back Nuraly Alip netted against Moldova and will aim to keep a clean sheet this time, partnering with Temirlan Yerlanov in defence.
In midfield, Ramazan Orazov could partner with Dinmukhamed Karaman, with this duo expected to provide support to number 10 Bauyrzhan Islamkhan.
The Faroe Islands are likely to deploy a three-man defence featuring Odmar Faero, Gunnar Vatnhamar, and Samuel Chukwudi.
This defensive trio will need adequate support from midfielders Geza David Turi and Joannes Bjartalid.
In attack, the most likely players to flank striker Petur Knudsen are Hanus Sorensen and Poul Kallsberg.
Kazakhstan probable starting XI:
Pokatilov; Mrynskiy, Yerlanov, Alip, Vorogoxiy; Orazov, Karaman; Astanov, Islamkhan, Tuyakbayev; Karimov
Faroe Islands probable starting XI:
Lamhauge; Faero, Vatnhamar, Chukwudi; Danielsen, Turi, Bjartalid, Agnarsson; Kallsberg, Knudsen, Sorensen
Kazakhstan’s recent form is concerning, but they’ve shown resilience at home.
The Faroe Islands have had difficulties converting draws into victories, and they might end up sharing the points once again in the Nations League.
