Kazakhstan ended up winning 0-1 in the most recent meeting between these two rivals. Rest assured they have a similar outcome in mind at Astana Arena., when they once again face Northern Ireland.

After the fifth round of the group stage, we find Kazakhstan placed as number four with nine points. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland rank as number five with three points.

Kazakhstan enter their upcoming game placed as number 104 in the FIFA world ranking. There is a bit of a gap to opponents Northern Ireland, who enter the game ranked number 64 in the world.

Kazakhstan could perhaps, and it is a big perhaps, collect a few points in the group if all the stars align. The most likely scenario though will be for them to finish last in the group.

It is highly unlikely that Northern Ireland will be able to progress beyond this group, but they may be able to snatch a few points here and there, which would be regarded as a success for them.
