The Kazakhstan national team experienced a change of head coach in the previous cycle. After a failed qualifying tournament for the World Cup in Qatar, where the Kazakhs took last place in the group with France, Ukraine, Bosnia, and Finland, Talgat Baysufinov was dismissed. In the next tournament, UEFA Nations League, the team has already conducted under the guidance of Russian specialist Magomed Adiev. And we must say that the match was a success. Kazakhstan scored 13 points, winning four games against Azerbaijan, Slovakia, and Belarus, and won a trip to Division B.
Last November, Kazakhstan's squad played its previous game before qualifying for the European Championship, losing in friendlies to Uzbekistan and the United Arab Emirates 0:2 and 1:2, respectively.
Slovenia
Slovenia's national team is stable - since 2018, the team has been led by Matjaž Kek, who also worked with the Slovenian team from 2007 to 2011. In qualifying for the last World Cup, the Slovenians were fourth in the group, with Croatia, Russia, Slovakia, Cyprus, and Malta. In the Group B Division of the League of Nations, they finished third in the quartet with Serbia, Norway, and Sweden. Slovenia achieved two victories in November's friendlies - over Romania (2:1) and Montenegro (1:0).
Expert Betting Tips
The Slovenian team is, of course, of a higher class than the Kazakhstan team. Therefore, it's unsurprising that the Slovenians are the big favorite in the bookmaker's lineup for the upcoming game. Most likely, Matjaž Kek's team will score points in Astana. The Slovenians are undefeated in six straight meetings and have lost only two of their last 12 games. And although Kazakhstan has been doing well lately, they have faced weaker opponents than the Slovenian team. We bet on the Slovenians and a more or less productive match - at least two goals were scored in the last six games involving Kazakhstan and seven of the previous ten rounds of the Slovenian team.
