The main underperformers of the KPL 2025 have been identified.

"Typically, teams newly promoted from the First League face significant challenges in a new season. Additionally, we should consider those clubs that were at risk of relegation from the Premier League last year. Fortunately, only one team faced relegation—Karaganda's Shakhter. It's worth noting that before the start of the 2024 Kazakh Premier League, several clubs withdrew from participation due to financial difficulties. This season, the battle for survival is expected to be intense," said the expert.
