The situation regarding "Astana" has been deemed hopeless in Russia.

The Russian website Championat.com has released an updated power ranking for the VTB United League, which includes the position of the capital's "Astana", reports Sports.kz.

The Kazakh club, along with "Samara," has become an outsider in the rankings.

“11-12. 'Astana' and 'Samara'

'Astana' and 'Samara' are in such a hopeless situation that they simply cannot be separated. Even now, both teams still have a chance to at least make it to the play-in. However, believing that this will happen is incredibly difficult,” the publication states.
