Tournament: Champions League Qualification
Venue: K. Munaitpasov Stadium Shymkent (Shymkent)
Game time: July 10, 2024, 11:00
A match between Ordabasy and Petrocub will be held in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League qualification on July 10, 2024. Both clubs sensationally pushed aside the favorites in the last draw, but they must understand perfectly well that this is a unique chance to try themselves in a top tournament, even at its initial stages.
Key Statistics and Trends
- Ordabasy: They have won their last 4 matches and are undefeated in 6 games.
- Petrocub: This is their first official match in a month and a half, but their test matches were frequent and mostly successful.
Team Analysis
- Ordabasy: Known as "The Blue and Whites," Ordabasy has recently started achieving consistently good success, with bronze medals in 2017 and 2019 and winning the cup again in 2022. Last season was special as they managed to get ahead of everyone, including Astana, to become the champions. They are now slightly ahead of Aktobe. However, their performance in European competitions has been lacking, with only 2 wins out of 9 previous opponents. Their struggle with Legia last year ended in a 2-2 draw and a 2-3 loss.
- Petrocub: Known as "The White and Blacks," Petrocub interrupted Sheriff’s dominance in Moldovan football by winning the championship title in the previous cycle. They also added the national cup, defeating Zimbru 3-1 in the final in May. After that, they played some friendly matches with good results, including victories over Farul from Romanian Constanta. However, their progress in European competitions remains limited, with relegation from the third opponent in 2022 being their record.
Team News
- Ordabasy: The participation of Cvek is questionable.
