Caspiy basketball club 2020/2021

At the very beginning of the season of the National League, “Astana” played at home with “Caspiy”, and now, less than a month later, our team is making a return visit to Aktau. Our guys confidently beat “Caspiy” twice in the home series and also left them no chances in the semifinal of the Cup of Kazakhstan. Thus, in the upcoming matches, the undisputed advantage will be on the side of Emil Rajkovic's charges.

Changes in the roster: The only change in the team of our opponents was that Pavel Ilyin has left the squad.

Leaders of the rivals: After eight matches in the National League, the leader of the Aktau team was American import Colin Doherty, who is the most productive and effective player of «Caspiy» team. In addition, Colin is the highest-scoring player in the entire league at the moment. In addition to Doherty, let's not forget about the Russian Denis Orlenko, who is leading in block-shots in the whole league. Also, Mikhail Karpenko very often releases Kazakhstanis Vladimir Kurochkin and Aimurat Satkeev from the very start of the games. Also at the heart of the Aktau team are Alexander Orazbekov, Gleb Zhukov, Valery Simonov and Denis Degtyarev.
 
Tournament position: “Astana” now occupies the first position in the main championship of the country, having twice beaten “Aktobe» as well as the Aktau “Caspiy” in the home game. Thus, the capital team is still going without losses with four wins in four matches. After the October games with Astana, “Caspiy”  had played six more games in the National League. At home, they lost twice to the “Almaty Legion”, and then in the return games with “Legion” in Almaty they managed to win one victory in two games. After that, the Aktau team played two home games with “Barsy Atyrau”, in which they lost twice. In total, “Caspiy” played twice as many games as “Astana” in the National League, but at the same time occupies the opposite position — the last line in the standings.
 
The matches will be held on Sunday and Monday — November 22 and 23 in Aktau at the arena of the sports complex «Batyr». Sunday's match starts at 19:00 and Monday's match begins at 18:00 Astana time. Online broadcast of matches will be available on the main page of our website.
