Previous meetings • Two late goals from Yuri Logvinenko helped save some face for Kazakhstan when they lost 4-2 at home to the Czech Republic in the sides' first Group A meeting. • That was the nations' first encounter at senior level. They had met twice in UEFA age-group tournaments, the Czechs winning 3-0 (2009) and 2-0 (2012) at Under-17 level. Disciplinary • Czech Republic defender David Limberský and midfielder Bořek Dočkal are both a yellow card away from a suspension. • Renat Abdulin, Azat Nurgaliyev and Dmitriy Shomko are all a booking away from a suspension. Form guide • The Czech Republic are unbeaten at home in Group A (W2 D1), but after kicking off the section with four straight victories they have won none of their competitive fixtures in 2015 (D1 L1). • Kazakhstan have lost their last five Group A games since opening with a 0-0 draw against Latvia. • Kazakhstan are without a win in nine competitive games (D2 L7) since a 2-1 FIFA World Cup qualifying success against the Faroe Islands in September 2013. Twelve games have passed (D1 L12) since their last competitive away win – 3-1 in Andorra in September 2009. Trivia and links • Czech Republic defender Tomáš Sivok made his 49th appearance for his country in their most recent Group A game, a 2-1 loss in Iceland. • The six meetings between the nations' clubs in UEFA competition have favoured the Czech sides, whose record is W3 D2 L1. Most recently, FC Slovan Liberec eliminated FC Shakhter Karagandy from the 2012/13 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round, winning 1-0 at home and drawing 1-1 after extra time in Karaganda. 3 Czech Republic - Kazakhstan Thursday 3 September 2015 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Doosan Arena, Plzen Squad list Czech Republic Current season Overall Qual.

Became assistant at Baník and – despite a 7-0 loss to SK Slavia Praha when he was in temporary control in May 2003 – ended the next season with the league title. • That summer crossed the border into Slovakia, winning a championship as head coach of Žilina in 2007, by which time he was also working as assistant to Ján Kocián with the Slovak national team. • Moved on to Plzeň in 2008, collecting the Czech Cup in his second season – when he was voted the country's coach of the year – and the league in 2011. Led Viktoria into the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time in 2011/12 and repeated the trick two years later following another title in 2013. In November 2013, he agreed to take the Czech Republic helm at the close of Plzeň's group stage campaign. Yuri Krasnozhan Date of birth: 7 June 1963 Nationality: Russian Playing career: PFC Spartak Nalchik, FC Avtozapchast Baksan Coaching career: FC Avtozapchast Baksan (assistant), PFC Spartak Nalchik, FC Lokomotiv Moskva, FC Anji Makhachkala, FC Kuban Krasnodar, FC Terek Grozny, Russia B, Kazakhstan • An unremarkable player with Nalchik and Avtozapchast, Krasnozhan moved into coaching in the 1990s, making his name during a six-year spell in charge of Nalchik, whom he led into the Russian top flight on a modest budget after finishing second in the second tier in 2005.
