Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Dinamo Samarqand in 6th and Surkhon in 5th place.
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.
Dinamo Samarqand form and stats
Dinamo Samarqand have performed here at Dynamo Samarkand Stadium this season with 4 wins from 7 Professional Football League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 0. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts. The home stadium (Dynamo Samarkand Stadium) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Dinamo Samarqand it's been a house of straw as the last five games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 242 minutes without scoring a league goal. B. Qosimov was the last player to find the net.
Dinamo Samarqand lost their last game at Metalourg after a 0-5 scoreline. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Sogdiana (0-3).
Dinamo Samarqand were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The manager T. Agamyradow will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Nasaf in only three days.
Dinamo Samarqand have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Dynamo Samarkand Stadium with 11 goals in 7 league matches. 7 goals have been conceded.
Surkhon form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Surkhon so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-4 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Surkhon have lost on their last two travels.
The supporters enjoyed Surkhon's previous game versus Sogdiana, a Professional Football League 1-0 win played at home. Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Pakhtakor's place.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Surkhon manager B. Ashurmatov as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Metalourg.
Surkhon are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 6 games (in the league). The Surkhon manager B. Ashurmatov has some worries about the defense as 13 goals have been conceded in these travels.
