Kazakhstan

Ali Aliyev's team began the qualifying campaign with a defeat, losing to Wales (1-3). In the next match, the team managed to beat Liechtenstein (2-0), ending their four-match losing streak in World Cup qualifiers. They are now preparing for their first home match of the current tournament, but their home record in World Cup qualification leaves much to be desired – the team has not won any of their last 10 home qualifiers (4 draws, 6 losses).

• At least one team has failed to score in 5 of Kazakhstan's last 7 World Cup qualifiers.
• Kazakhstan has failed to score in 4 of their last 6 home World Cup qualifiers.
• Kazakhstan has conceded at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 World Cup qualifiers.
