Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Surkhon languishing in the 13th position so far. The guesting Lokomotiv will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

The hosts Surkhon saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Professional Football League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Pakhtakor, was also a home game. The away team is better rested.

Surkhon form and stats

With 0 Professional Football League wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Surkhon, who have the most conceded goals (38) in Professional Football League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With nine home Professional Football League games in a row without a win, the Surkhon fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Bunyodkor game long ago, can be stopped today. Surkhon has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager R. Khaydarov and the players.

Stress levels are on the rise for Surkhon's attacking players as they have now played 277 minutes without scoring in a league game. K. Gofurov was their last goal scorer.

The Surkhon fans got no joy from their last match, a Professional Football League game also here: A 0-6 defeat against Pakhtakor (placed 1st). Preceding that match was the home game against Kokand-1912 that was lost 0-1.

Surkhon were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Surkhon, as the Professional Football League home game vs Andijan is only four days away.

Surkhon aren't scoring a lot here in the league, with only 6 goals from 9 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Surkhon are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (18 from 9 played).
