In one of the matches of the 9th round of the championship of Uzbekistan, Kokand will host Sogdiana. Will the guests continue the win-win move?
"Kokand"
On the eve of the 9th round, Kokand is on the sixth line with twelve points. The team cannot find stability by alternating wins with losses, but it also does not forget about the world outcomes. Now Kokand has three wins, the same number of draws and two losses. In the round before last, we managed to cope with Andijan (2-1), but we failed to develop success in the next match-0: 3 from the current champion of the country, Pakhtakor.
"Sogdiana"
Sogdiana is determined to compete for a place in European competitions, taking the second place with 18 points. In addition, the team has a good opportunity to impose a fight on Pakhtakor for gold. Now the gap is equal to one point, but Sogdiana played a match more - eight, without losing a single time: five wins and three draws.
Statistics and figures:
- Kokand have yet to win or score at home: two 0-0 draws and a 0-1 defeat;
- Sogdiana is still unbeaten: 5 wins and 3 draws;
- In the previous season, the teams exchanged home wins: Kokand won 2-1, and Sogdiana won 3-0.
Forecast
"Sogdiana" at this stage of the championship looks better than "Kokand", fighting for the leading position. I do not think that the guests will face difficulties, especially if you take into account the fact that Kokand has not yet won at their home stadium, and has not scored.
