In Romania, Aktobe managed to open the scoring - in the 65th minute, Elder Santana scored. But the Kazakh team could not keep a minimal advantage, offensively missed at the end of the game. Nevertheless, the 1:1 score keeps Aktobe in a good position to advance to the next round.
Before the meetings with Sepsi, Andrei Karpovich's team passed Dinamo Kutaisi in the Conference League, and in the Kazakhstan 2023 championship, Aktobe is in second place, six points behind first place. In 19 matches in the national championship, Aktobe has only two defeats.
Sepsi
Losing Atobe in a home game would have effectively ended Sepsi's prospects of staying in the European Cup. However, the experienced Hungarian forward Roland Varga saved the Romanian team. Considering how the game was going, 1:1 is not a bad outcome.
In the current round of the Conference League, the team, led by Liviu Ciobotariu, confidently passed CSKA Sofia - 6:0 on aggregate in two games. In the four starting rounds of the Romanian championship, Sepsi won two matches and drew twice, conceding only one goal. In addition, the club won the Super Cup of the country by beating Farul 1:0.
Expert Betting Tips
The rivals' first meeting turned out to be a draw, which is not surprising - both teams know how to defend qualitatively. Sepsi conceded only three goals in eight matches played this season. Aktobe has 18 goals conceded in 19 games in Kazakhstan, although Andrei Karpovich's team has conceded in every game in the European Cup. Because of this, we give here a slight preference to Sepsi and also expect an unproductive match. We would not be surprised if the rivals would part ways for the second time and continue to find out the relationship in extra time.
