Will Nuraly become the top scorer, will Lalov make ninth clean sheet and will Taraz be able to impose the fight for medals? Who to take in Fantasy QJ League – part two

Shakhtyor – Astana

 

Having gained momentum in the last two games, the capital club can interfere in the distribution of the final places in the championship. The Astana side are not medal contenders, but they can put up a fight, the other question is whether Shakhtyor will be able to realise their chances up front in their usual manner and keep the goal intact?

 

Best options: Yan Lalov is this season's record holder in clean sheets, a contender for the title of the best goalkeeper of the season and one of the best leaders of league defence. Astana broke through the Karaganda goalkeeper in the first round, but will he be able to in the second?

 

It's worth thinking about: If the Astana players manage to beat Lalov, who should do it but the team's top scorer Abzal Sagyn (6). If doubts creep into your head, you can select the fantasy league leaders from Shakhtyor's defence for this match: Chernobuk (95) and Akylbayev (116).

 

Tobol – Ordabasy

 

Tobol the main discovery of the 2nd leg of QJ League – a series of 6 wins in a row and a draw in the last round against Taraz. Ordabasy should not expect an easy walk in Kostanay, but if you want to claim medals, you need to beat everyone.

 

Best options: Bagdaulet Nuraly in the race for the top scorer of the championship ahead of the nearest pursuers from Kairat by 2 and 3 goals respectively. Tobol in the course of this season scores as well as well as misses. Confirm their scoring ambitions need to confirm in the most important matches.

 

It's worth thinking about: One of the main creators of Kostanay's winning streak is Evgeniy Konyashkin, who has already scored 7 times this season. The emphasis in the game of these two teams will be on attack, taking Ordabasy's second best scorer – Zhanali Yessenaliyev (8) also makes sense.

 

Zhas Kyran – Taraz

 

The Taraz side need to hope for Shakhtyor and Ordabasy to falter and only win the remaining two games. Two finals are at stake, and if the last Matchweek is a face-to-face confrontation with Karaganda, the opponent in the Matchweek XXI is easier – Zhas Kyran, who had fallen apart towards the end of the championship.

 

Best options: Nurdaulet Orynbassar is the most productive player of the outgoing season in Taraz (14+4). Do not pin your hopes only on Nurdaulet, there is also Sanzhar Kemelbek (7+7). The killer duo from Taraz will try to make some noise in Almaty.

 

It's worth thinking about: Alan Adakhayev (5+3) in the Zhas Kyran team will try to upset the defence of Dzhambul in the home stands, and Arafat Valiyev (5+1) should help him in this. Which of the duo to favour?
