Buxoro hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 11 points and a 14th position in the Professional Football League table. Visiting Sogdiana holds 7th place with 27 pts.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Buxoro form and stats
Buxoro's struggle is real here at Stadion im. Bahrom Vafoyev with only 9 points collected from 10 Professional Football League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-6-3. The last three games played by Buxoro, regardless of arena, have all ended draws. Two draws in a row at home now for Buxoro.
Buxoro are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 330 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by I. Abdullaev). Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper not having conceded a league goal in 308 minutes.
Buxoro manager J. Saidov and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Metalourg (placed 6th) in the Professional Football League. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Nasaf.
Buxoro are traveling soon after this match as the Professional Football League match at Bunyodkor awaits in four days.
The Buxoro fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 10 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Buxoro have conceded 18 from these games.
Sogdiana form and stats
Sogdiana, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) away in Professional Football League, have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Professional Football League, after 1-3-6 (10 played).
Sogdiana are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Professional Football League against Navbahor (placed 9th). Prior to that match, the Sogdiana manager U. Bakaev faced defeat when travelling to Pakhtakor and losing 0-2.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sogdiana as they have only managed to score 6 times from 10 away games in the league. Sogdiana's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 18 goals from these trips.
