Tobol has already made one big surprise in the cups this year
Kazakhstan’s Tobol Kostanay has been making its way through the Conference League since its 1st preliminary round. According to paper assumptions, the team of Serbian coach Milić Ćurčić was not supposed to reach the playoffs. In the 2nd preliminary round, they shocked Basel, which they eliminated after the results of 3:1 and 1:2.
Otherwise, the Tobolu season runs a little differently than we are used to from the Czech Republic. The season of the Kazakh league runs from March to October, Tobol so he has already played 18 league matches. While this club is progressing in Europe, it is losing in the league. He has not won three times in a row and is 21 points behind the table leader from sixth place.
This two-time champion of Kazakhstan finished in third place last year. So far, Tobol celebrated its last championship title in 2021. Since the summer, they have been trying to return these successes under a new director. And he has a famous name. Andrei Kanchelskis played, for example, for Manchester United and passed Serie A as well.
In recent years, Kanchelskis worked mainly as a coach, but now he will build a team for coach Ćurčić. He has at his disposal a cadre composed mainly of Kazakhs. They are also supplemented by foreigners, who are mainly Serbs. The team also includes Serges Deblé from the Ivory Coast, who is also the club’s top scorer this season.

Pilsen has sprung up and welcomes the defecating marodka
The embarrassing start to the season is forgotten, Viktoria Plzeň is currently riding a streak of six wins in a row. The last one came at the weekend against Sigma Olomouc. Although the Victorians were losing, the first half was enough for them to turn around at the final 2:1. At the same time, the Brazilian Cado shone with two assists.
Coach Miroslav Koubek also praised his variability, technique and skill at the post-match press conference. At the same time, he called for an improvement in condition. Fortunately for this coach, the players who leave the Pilsen club get into it. They looked at the pitch against Olomouc for at least part of the match Erik Jirka and Tomáš Chorý.
Both of these offensive footballers were also on a trip to Kazakhstan. It also included Matěj Vydra, who missed the last five matches. However, some players still remain injured. Specifically, it concerns Milan Havel, Luďek Pernica and Jan Sýkora.
As for Viktoria’s next schedule, they will play two matches in a row against Tobolu, separated by one week. Plzeň took advantage of the opportunity to keep it postpone the weekend league duel in Mladá Boleslav. After all, coach Koubek didn’t hide from journalists that he wanted Irish Derry City because of the demanding program and easier travel.
Date, time and place of the match: 24/8 at 16:00, Centralny Stadion (Kostanaj)
Pilsen have won their last six matches. At the same time, she scored at least two goals in each of these matches. Now coach Koubek’s options are expanding in the direction of the offensive.
At the weekend, at least Jirko and Chorý jumped from the bench. Vydra also traveled to Kazakhstan. So we are betting that Viktoria will score at least twice this time as well.
