Match Preview
| Meeting for the first time in history, Kazakhstan (FIFA ranking: #117) host Scotland (#40) in the first round of Euro 2020 qualification at the Astana Arena. Whilst unbeaten in their last two competitive matches here, the ‘Hawks’ have won just four European qualification matches overall (W4, D7, L23). |
| Head coach Michal Bilek (KAZ) takes to the dugout for his second game in charge, and will be looking to improve his side’s competitive form on home soil since their surprise 2-2 World Cup qualifier draw with Poland in 2016 (W1, D3, L3, since). However, after Kazakhstan finished last in their Russia 2018 qualifiers group with just three points from ten matches, the travelling Scots contingent have cause for optimism. |
| Scotland are looking to qualify for their third European finals after failing on 11 occasions since 1968 (Euro qualifiers: W52, D26, L33). After booking their place in the UEFA Nations League (UNL) play-offs next year, Alex McLeish (in all fixtures: W4, L6) will hope to follow on from their 4-0 win in Albania on their last awayday. |
| With six clean sheets from their last ten competitive matches (W7, D2, L1), the Scots have the form to lay the foundations for their first international finals appearance since 1998! |
| Players to watch: Baurzhan Turysbek (KAZ) has scored in his last two domestic matches and has three goals from 11 international features. |
| James Forrest, meanwhile, netted five goals in Scotland’s UNL campaign and has ten domestic goals for SPL side Celtic. |
| Stat attack: Five of Kazakhstan’s last ten competitive games on home soil have featured over 2.5 goals, all of which produced goals in both halves. |
| Scotland’s last eight competitive away games have seen over 2.5 goals, all of which have produced goals in both halves. |
| Kazakhstan have scored first in just two of their last ten competitive home games. |
