Tobol
“Tobol” has not started the season very successfully in the Kazakhstan Championship, currently occupying only the fourth position after 12 rounds. In the Europa League, Nurbol Zhumaskaliyev’s team also faced a setback, despite being considered a favorite against “Ruzomberok.” The 2-5 defeat in Slovakia leaves minimal chances for success.
