Evenly matched teams: Buxoro vs Andijan match preview

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Buxoro and Andijan.

It's quite the trip for Andijan when visiting Buxoro as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.

Buxoro form and stats

With 1 win, 3 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Buxoro, who have the most conceded goals (11) at home in Professional Football League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Buxoro's last game was hosting Andijan and winning 1-0. Prior to that, an away loss at Navbahor.

This is expected to be a close game, with Buxoro perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Buxoro as a small favourite), we find two games. Buxoro has won 2 of these, drawn 0 and lost 0.

Buxoro have scored 4 goals here in 7 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.

Andijan form and stats

There's been little loot from Andijan's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 8 away games. Andijan, who have the fewest scored goals (3) away in Professional Football League, only have 0 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 4 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Andijan have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 13 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Neftchi game.

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

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Andijan playing away and similar expectations, we found one relevant match. Results were 0 Andijan wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Andijan's away games this season with only 3 goals from 8 matches. 10 goals have been conceded by Andijan in these games.
