- Lokomotiv have the most conceded goals in the second half (7) in Professional Football League
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Professional Football League game only four days ago.
Neftchi form and stats
Neftchi have played three Professional Football League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. The Neftchi manager Muminjonov might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Neftchi travelled for their previous game, a trip to Dinamo Samarqand that ended 1-1.
Preceding that match was the home game against Bunyodkor that was lost 1-3.Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.
Lokomotiv form and stats
It's not happening yet for Lokomotiv on their Professional Football League travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three consecutive losses in away matches means Lokomotiv are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Makharadze and Turopov scored in Lokomotiv's previous match, the home game against Surkhon that ended 2-0.
Prior to that match, the Lokomotiv manager Korostichenko faced defeat when travelling to Dinamo Samarqand and losing 1-3.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Lokomotiv playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were one Lokomotiv win, two draws and five defeats.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Lokomotiv manager Korostichenko has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
