Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Sogdiana & Aral face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Uzbekistan Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Sogdiana form and stats
Last season, Sogdiana's Uzbekistan Cup journey ended in the semi-finals.Sogdiana have played 6 Professional Football League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Milan Mitrovic not having conceded a league goal in 255 minutes.
Sogdiana enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Buxoro's place. The match ended 2-0 with Kaxramonov and Zajmović scoring. Zajmović has scored in three matches in a row. Badass!
Ahead of that match, Sogdiana won a home game hosting Turan (2-0).Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Nasaf are coming to town in four days.
