Preview of Round IV of the Women’s National League
On November 14–15, the next round of the Women’s National League regular season will take place in four cities across Kazakhstan.
Ertis – Aktobe
Pavlodar, Bayantau Sports Complex
November 14, 18:00 | November 15, 18:00
Pavlodar and Aktobe are the only clubs yet to earn a single point this season. Following the upcoming round, at least one of the teams will get on the scoreboard, and possibly both. For now, Ertis is ahead of Aktobe thanks to two sets won in six matches.
Depending on the results, the teams coached by Evgeny Nikolaev and Sergey Safronov could challenge for sixth place in the league standings after the next two days.
Quanysh – Turan
Petropavl, Kuanysh Sports Complex
November 14, 18:30 | November 15, 18:30
The Petropavl team earned two points on their trip to Taldykorgan and continue chasing the league leaders from the Zhetysu and East Kazakhstan regions. This time, Saim Pakkan’s players will welcome a team led by Askar Shalkibekov. After six matches, Turan has an equal number of wins and losses and sits fifth in the standings with nine points.
Zhetysu – Berel
Taldykorgan, Zhastar Sports Palace
November 14, 17:00 | November 15, 17:00
The central match of the round will once again take place in Taldykorgan. On October 27–28, Zhetysu conceded only two of six points to their opponents from North Kazakhstan. Tomorrow and the following day, Marco Grshich’s team will face the current league leaders, coached by Haluk Korkmaz. The upcoming matches between Zhetysu and Berel are particularly notable as both teams are coached by foreign specialists.
Karaganda – Burevestnik
Temirtau, Zhaurtau Sports Complex
November 14, 15:00 | November 15, 16:00
After six matches this season, the hosts have just one win and three points to their name. Whether this is simply the result of a difficult start to the regular season will become clear the day after tomorrow, when Nurlan Sadykov’s team plays two matches not against title contenders from East Kazakhstan and North Kazakhstan or the reigning Kazakhstan Cup holders, but against Burevestnik, who were not considered among the favorites before the season began. At present, Ruslan Salakhunov’s team has 12 points and sits fourth in the standings.
The Zhetysu – Berel match on November 14 will be broadcast live on QAZSPORT, while the match between these teams on November 15 will be shown on Qsport 1. Both games will also be available on volley.kz.
Broadcasts of the remaining matches of Round IV of the Women’s National League on November 14–15 will be available on the KNVF YouTube channel.
