Match begins: 13:30 (UTC)
Venue: Markaziy Stadion (33000 seats)

It's a new born Professional Football League campaign and Navbahor are impatient to get on the pitch here at Markaziy Stadion. Nasaf are visiting and this should be a fascinating season kickoff.

Nasaf might feel the omen before this devilish trip to Navbahor, as the distance is exactly 600 sinister kilometers.

Nasaf could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Super Cup game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Pakhtakor, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Nasaf.

Navbahor form and stats

In the previous season, Navbahor's league statistics were 10 wins, 9 draws and 7 losses, results that produced 7th spot in the Professional Football League. In these 26 matches they scored 23 goals and gave away 19. Playing at home in the former season Navbahor managed 5-4-4 (win-draw-lost) with 11 goals and 9 conceded.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Navbahor have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won one, drawn five and lost two.

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Navbahor friendly games in pre-season: Navbahor played three friendlies, won 1, drew 0 and lost 2. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Navbahor scored 4 goals and conceded 5 in these three games.

Nasaf form and stats

In total they scored 42 and conceded 24 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 5 and lost 4 with 13/14 goals scored/conceded.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Nasaf playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were three Nasaf wins, three draws and two defeats.

It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Nasaf have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats from one fixture.
