Kazakhstan vs Liechtenstein: Everything About the October 10 Match and the Hosts’ Squad Losses

On October 10, 2025, at 19:00 Astana time, Kazakhstan will face Liechtenstein at the “Astana Arena” in the 2026 World Cup qualification (Group J). The KFF has officially confirmed the match. Football fans are already making predictions and placing bets.

Kazakhstan is currently 4th in the group, Liechtenstein 5th. In their spring meeting in Vaduz, Kazakhstan won 2–0. For the hosts, this is a must-win game to keep mathematical chances alive.

Key loss: forward Dastan Satpayev (“Kairat”) is out due to injury. Goalkeepers Aleksandr Zarutskiy and Temirlan Anarbekov are also sidelined.

Acting head coach is Talgat Baysufinov. In attack, Kazakhstan relies on Samorodov, Shushenachev, and Kenzhebek.

Analysts expect a three-center-back formation with active wings, while Liechtenstein is likely to stick to a defensive setup.

Kazakhstan will need early pressure, wing play, and set pieces to cover for Satpayev’s absence.
