Ordabasy might have dropped off the top spot for a bit in the Kazakhstan league but there is no cause for alarm among their fans. The side keeps picking up wins in their domestic games without much stress. Just last round they went away and edged Ulytau one nil thanks to that strike from Bjorn Johnsen. Right now the boys are sitting on a seven game winning run across all competitions and they have racked up eleven wins plus four draws from fifteen outings in the league. This means they remain the only side without a single loss all season long.
Team Form
Even with this strong record Ordabasy is not leading the table because Kairat has been shifting fixtures around to focus on their Champions League qualifiers. The current champions have already played eighteen matches while Ordabasy has just fifteen and trails by two points. Still when you look at points dropped the Ordabasy lads sit at the top with a nice cushion so all they need to do is keep collecting the three points from their remaining games without any drama.
- Eleven wins and four draws in fifteen league games
- Seven straight victories in all competitions
- Only team in the division yet to taste defeat
- Ulytau struggling with negative goal difference
Tactical Analysis
Ulytau on the other hand is hovering close to third place just four points behind Okzhetpes. Their attack is not firing at full throttle averaging less than a goal per ninety minutes and that leaky defense could come back to haunt them over the long run. Ordabasy on their part will look to use their solid home record and control the midfield to create chances. The visitors will likely sit deep and try to hit on the counter but the hosts have the quality to break them down especially with Johnsen leading the line and linking up play nicely.
Both teams know what is at stake and the match promises plenty of action with Ordabasy pushing for the win while Ulytau fights to stay in the top three hunt. Expect the home side to dominate possession and test the away defense repeatedly throughout the ninety minutes.
Betting Proposal
Given how well Ordabasy has been performing at home and their unbeaten run it makes sense to back them with a handicap. The side should come out on top by at least one goal margin or more against a Ulytau outfit that lacks cutting edge up front. Fora 1 (-1) at odds of 1.72 looks the value play here. This types gives good returns and fits the pattern of recent results from the league leaders.
