The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Sogdiana are in the 9th position while the guesting Surkhon worry at 12th.

Sogdiana form and stats

Sogdiana have collected 9 points from their Professional Football League home games so far after 2-3-0.

Sogdiana manager U. Bakaev and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Qizilqum (placed 11th) in the Professional Football League. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 3-3 versus Bunyodkor.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sogdiana have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won one time, drawn two and lost zero.

Sogdiana have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Paxtakor Markaziy Stadion with 9 goals in 5 league matches. 6 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 2-0-5 (win-draw-lose).

Home advantage was not enough for Surkhon in their previous game, as they lost their Professional Football League-match, hosting Metalourg, 1-2. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Buxoro's place.

Late heartbreak for Surkhon in the Metalourg match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

We have checked recent matches where Surkhon have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were one victory, zero draws and three defeats.

The attacking power of Surkhon when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. As for defending, Surkhon rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 11 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Sogdiana, zero draws and two wins for Surkhon. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.
