Kazakhstan
Following an unlucky loss to Denmark in Copenhagen, Northern Ireland will look to get back on course in the EURO 2024 qualifiers when they take on Kazakhstan on Monday evening. The Green and White Army scored a late equalizer in the Parken Stadium showdown, but the goal was eventually disallowed following a VAR review. Anyhow, the character they showed in the second half is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Kazakhstan. With no fresh injury worries to report, Michael O’Neill is unlikely to make changes to the team that faced the Danes.
The Kazaks, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Denmark and San Marino, but beating Northern Ireland in Belfast is easier said than done. Since Michael O’Neill’s troops are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to put our money on draw. The good news for the visitors is that Astana forward Abat Aymbetov is back from suspension.
Highlighted Team (Kazakhstan):
Kazakhstan national team played their first international match on June 1, 1992 against Turkmenistan, with the team beating the Emeralds 1-0. The former Soviet republic have been competing on the international stage since 1991, when the country declared independence.
Kazakhstan have yet to book their place at major tournaments, but they have not been serving as a cannon fodder for top European national teams. The Kazakhs were part of Asian Football Confederation before joining UEFA in 2002. However, they could not enter UEFA Euro 2004 qualification as the draw had been made earlier. Kazakhstan national football team recorded their biggest win over Pakistan in June, 1997 and they suffered their biggest defeat in 2005, with the team losing to Turkey 6-0.
Kazakhstan wear sky-blue shirts and sky-blue shorts when playing at home, while their away colour is yellow. Astana Arena is considered Kazakhstan national football team’s home ground and the capacity of the stadium is 30.244. The venue was opened in July, 2009.
