FC Astana has a more successful history in European competitions, having reached the group stages of the UEFA Europa League multiple times in recent years.
Both TNS and FC Astana are looking to make a mark in the inaugural season of the newly formed Europa Conference League and have the opportunity to showcase their talent on the European stage.
TNS and FC Astana have never faced each other in a competitive match before, so their potential matchup in the Europa Conference League could be an exciting and unknown challenge for both sides.
