Ordabasy preview: Can they do better away from home
After failing to beat Petrocub in the first leg at home, the champions of Kazakhstan now need to find a way to do so in Moldavia, or at least get the game to the penalties and win the shootout. Ordabasy have entered this tie as the favourites since they are the more reputable team and in good form, but they won't have an easy time reaching the next stage of the Champions League qualifiers.
Predicted lineup: Ignatovich (GK), Plastun, Malyi, Erlanov, Astanov, Makarenko, Tagybergen, Suyumbayev, Yakhshiboev, Darboe & Islamkhan
