Season ticket holders at Buxoro Arena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Buxoro languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting Metalourg will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
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.
Buxoro form and stats
Buxoro's results here at Buxoro Arena in the Professional Football League have been very modest with 1 victory, 3 draws and 3 defeats. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Buxoro, their manager M. Mukhamadiev and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
The home team returns to Buxoro Arena after sharing the points with Qizilqum on their last time out; the Professional Football League game ended 1-1. Preceding that match was a defeat to Kokand-1912 (0-1).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Buxoro as they have a new game in only three days, a Professional Football League match thankfully also at home. AMGK are visiting.
Buxoro aren't scoring a lot here at Buxoro Arena in the league, with only 4 goals from 7 games. Buxoro have conceded 11 from these games.

As mentioned above, Metalourg was the only team on the pitch versus Dinamo Samarqand in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
A quick return to home after this game, as Metalourg are hosting Surkhon in the Professional Football League only three days away.
