Slovakia were deserving winners against Moldova, largely because they prevented their opponents from creating any meaningful opportunities in the final third.
That victory ensured that the nation continued their unbeaten streak, with the country undefeated in their past four games (W3, D1, L0).
The hosts have in fact emerged as victors in seven of their past 11 outings, and while they did lose three times in that period, it is impossible to not acknowledge the positives from that stretch.
Boss Vladimir Weiss could name a midfield three, with Stanislav Lobotka positioned at the base behind Tomas Suslov and Ondrej Duda.
Kazakhstan were arguably fortunate to take a point from their clash with Faroe Islands, especially as they only produced one shot from inside the box that did not originate from a set piece.
Manager John van't Schip will be concerned that his side are winless in their three most recent fixtures – two draws, one loss – while his team have won just two of their last eight contests (W2, D4, L2).
The two teams do not have a storied history against each other having met just twice, though both meetings resulted in wins for Tuesday's visitors.
Kazakhstan are likely to select striker Artur Shushenachev, who may be supported in attack by forwards Zhasulan Amir and Galymzhan Kenzhebek.

Given Slovakia have scored 11 goals in their last five games, a good starting bet would be Over 1.5 Goals for Slovakia at 1/2 (1.5).
Four of the hosts' last six goals have come before the interval, so that could make predicting Slovakia to Win at Half Time at 8/11 (1.73) the way to go.
Both teams have scored in all three of Kazakhstan's past three matches, and that trend makes a bet of Both Teams to Score at 13/8 (2.63) sensible.
> Over 1.5 Goals for Slovakia at 1/2 (1.5) | Likelihood: Probable
> Slovakia to Win at Half Time at 8/11 (1.73) | Likelihood: Possible
