The Kazakh national team is playing their strongest European Championship qualifier so far, but has little realistic chance of progressing against group opponents like Belgium or Russia. So far, there were seven points from the first six group matches for the Kazakh hawks. This puts Kazakhstan eight points behind second-placed Russia.

On Thursday evening, the Kazakhs in Nur-Sultan meet the Cypriots, who currently also have seven points in their account. Qualifying for the European Championship is also not an issue for the small state of Cyprus. But it will not be a game for the “golden pineapple”. Kazakhstan wants to continue the success trend and record the best qualifying result in an European Championship.
In the first round, there was a 1-1 draw between the two clubs for the Cypriots. The bookmakers favor the hosts in the half-time match between Kazakhstan and Cyprus according to odds. A tip on it will be daring despite the recent results but rather daring, because the Cypriot defensive was already very strong in the group matches against Russia and Belgium.
Kazakhstan – Statistics & Current Form
Kazakhstan has been a member of UEFA since 2002. In the European Championship qualifier in 2004, the Kazakh hawks were not yet there, but were only allowed to participate in the qualification for the major European competition in 2008. So far, however, Kazakhstan has never qualified for a major competition.
Currently, the Kazakh hawks are historically well on the way to six group matches and could record the best qualifying result in their European Championship history if the success trend continues. In addition to the current yield of seven points, especially the performances of the Kazakhs were promising.
So Kazakhstan played in the last qualifier against Russia almost draw. Only in the 89th minute conceded the Kazakh selection the goal to 0: 1-final. In Nur-Sultan, the hawks, however, showed at last very home strong. In the last five home games Kazakhstan lost exclusively against Russia. At home there were home wins in the European Championship qualifier against San Marino (4-0) and Scotland (3-0).
In the current squad of the Kazakhs are with Baktiyar Zaynutdinov and Yan Vorogovskiy only two legionaries in the squad. In his ten international appearances Baktiyar Zaynutdinov has scored four goals so far. For Sergei Khizhnichenko are currently with eight international goals for Kazakhstan but currently the most hits to book.
Great changes in the starting line-up of the Kazakhs are not to be expected from the Czech coach Michal Bilek. For a home win against Kazakhstan against Cyprus, odds of up to 2.20 are offered.
Expected lineup of Kazakhstan:
↳ Nepogodov – Maliy, Erlanov, Marochkin – Shomko, Abiken, Pertsukh, Beysebekov – Zhukov, Fedin – Shchetkin

Cyprus – Statistics & Current Form
The Cypriots are not in bad shape but, like Kazakhstan, they have no realistic chances for the European Championship in 2020. In the previous group stage, Cyprus have had two wins over San Marino, one draw against Kazakhstan and defeats against Russia, Belgium and Scotland.
The Cypriot selection has never been able to qualify for a major competition in the history of the association. In the Nations League, UEFA’s new competition, Cyprus has dropped down from league C to league D as the worst third-placed player. In a group with Slovenia, Bulgaria and Norway, there were two draws and one victory for the Cypriots.
However, Cyprus is doing much better this calendar year. In terms of performance, the performances in the previous qualifying matches were promising. Although the Cypriot selection lost against group favorites such as Belgium or Russia, it delivered strong performances mainly from a defensive perspective.
Thus, against the concentrated offensive of the Belgians 0: 2 and against the Russians only 0: 1 lost. At Heimremis against Kazakhstan there was a performance-related result of 1: 1. In a foreign country, Cyprus has lost six of their last eight competitive matches. Only in the away game in San Marino there was a victory. In addition, Cyprus played against Slovenia in the Nations League draw.
The current squad has five legionnaires. With Neofytos Michael (PAS Giannina) and Andreas Karo (Salernitana), two of them are expected to debut in the upcoming internationals. Center-back Konstantinos Laifis, who is on contract with Standard Liège, is the most valuable player in the Cypriot squad.
The offensive performances of Cyprus were manageable in the recent qualifiers. From a defensive point of view, there was not much to complain about recently. Even against top teams such as Russia and Belgium, the Cypriots were able to counter good. With similar achievements, the defensive bastion should also hold against Kazakhstan as far as possible.
Expected lineup of Cyprus:
↳ Panagi – Ioannou, Laifis, Kyriakou, Artymatas – Kosti, Spoljaric, Kousoulos, Papoulis – Sotiriou, Pittas
Last matches of Cyprus:
⚽️ 09.09.2019 – San Marino Vs. Cyprus 0: 4 (European Championship Qualification)
⚽️ 06.09.2019 – Cyprus vs. Kazakhstan 1: 1 (European Championship Qualification)
⚽️ 11.06.2019 – Russia vs Cyprus 1: 0 (European Championship Qualification)
⚽️ 08.06.2019 – Scotland vs. Scotland Cyprus 2: 1 (European Championship Qualification)
⚽️ 24.03.2019 – Cyprus vs. Belgium 0: 2 (European Championship Qualification)
