Bunyodkor and Metalourg have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Professional Football League.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Bunyodkor form and stats

Bunyodkor have played 4 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). There’s a good atmosphere here at Milliy Stadion after three straight home wins.

Bunyodkor's last game was hosting Metalourg and winning 1-0. Heartbreak before that as Bunyodkor lost 1-3 at Nasaf's place.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Bunyodkor matches with similar probabilities have ended with 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats (from one game).

Bunyodkor are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 5 goals in 4 matches. On the other hand, Bunyodkor have conceded 4 goals.

Metalourg form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Metalourg so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-3 (win-draw-lose).

It might be tough going out on the road again for Metalourg, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Bunyodkor. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Andijan.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Metalourg playing away, we found one game. Results were 0 away wins, 1 draw and 0 home wins.

The attacking power of Metalourg when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored in 7 matches. As opposed to that, Metalourg have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Bunyodkor - Metalourg 1-0. Last ten meetings between the teams: Bunyodkor won 5, Metalourg won 1 and 4 draws. 1 game with over 2,5 goals, 9 matches with two goals or less.
