On May 2-4, the 8th round matches of the Super League will be held. All 8 scheduled games are causing unique intrigues. Attention to each match is truly high. Below you can find expert opinions on the games that will take place between these pairs.
May 2
18:15. “Xorazm” – “Nasaf”
The round will kick off with the clash of “Xorazm” and “Nasaf”. In the match taking place in Jizzakh, “Xorazm” will act as the nominal host. An interesting intrigue. Hakim Fuzaylov's team last won against “Surxon” in the second round. Since then, they have not been able to please their fans. “Nasaf” is considered the favorite of this match. It would be natural for “Xorazm” to accept a draw in this game as a positive result.
20:30. “Bunyodkor” – “Qo‘qon-1912”
Ilyos Zeytullayev's team is leaving a good impression. In the last round, they defeated OKMK, who have not known defeat for a while. “Bunyodkor” has not lost in the championship yet. Among the teams returning from the Pro League to the Super League, “Qo‘qon-1912” appears to be quite aggressive. Therefore, we will witness a fiercely contested match at the home ground of “Bunyodkor”. The slight advantage lies with the hosts.
May 3
18:00. “Buxoro” – “Mash’al”
These two clubs, who competed in the Pro League last year, will now clash in the Super League. “Buxoro” missed a significant opportunity in the last round in Namangan, and head coach Ulug‘bek Baqoyev mentioned in a press conference that he requested resignation from the management. However, this has not happened yet, and he is preparing the team for the game. In the match against “Mash’al”, “Buxoro” will not be satisfied with anything less than victory. The Muborak team is not a gift either. The opportunities are being assessed equally.
19:30. OKMK – “Andijon”
Another interesting contest awaits us. “Andijon”, which has recently fallen into a spiral of defeats, will face OKMK led by Mirjalol Qosimov in Olmalik this time. The psychological preparedness of the teams will take center stage in this match. Both teams suffered defeats in the last round. Fans are expecting a very intense competition.
20:15. “Surxon” – “Paxtakor”
If we say this is one of the central matches of the round, we would not be mistaken. “Paxtakor” seems to be recovering after an unfortunate start. However, there is no doubt that a tough game awaits them in Termiz. Both “Surxon” and “Paxtakor” have four defeats in the championship so far. Will “Surxon” invite a strong opponent to an open fight at home, or will they play defensively and look for success in counterattacks? “Paxtakor”, on the other hand, is expected to display an attacking style of play. For now, the opportunities are equal!
May 4
18:00. “Neftchi” – “So‘g‘diyona”
Vitaliy Levchenko's team will face “So‘g‘diyona” led by Ivan Boshkovich this time. It will be a serious game. “Neftchi”, who is fighting for the championship, had previously suffered a 0:4 defeat at home against “Paxtakor”, which disappointed their fans. The match that was supposed to take place in Samarkand against “Dinamo” was postponed. Levchenko's team is focusing all its attention on the game against “So‘g‘diyona”. If they lose points again, Levchenko will face criticism once more. However, defeating Boshkovich's team is not an easy task.
19:00. “Qizilqum” - “Navbahor”
Finally, the “Qizilqum” team is returning to their home – Navoi. The match against “Navbahor” on May 4 will take place at the “Youth Sports Complex”. In the last round, “Qizilqum” conceded 4 unanswered goals against “Nasaf” in Qarshi. This time, in their home opener, the Navoi fans will undoubtedly exert all their efforts for a positive result.
20:15. “Sho‘rtan” – “Dinamo”
Only “Sho‘rtan” remains without a victory in the Super League. Indeed, recently in the group stage of the Uzbekistan Cup, “Sho‘rtan” hosted “Olimpik” and won 3:0. However, they have not been able to achieve such success in the championship yet. Anvar Berdiyev's team will try to defeat “Dinamo”, who has not lost this season. The G‘uzor team has returned home and will play in front of their fans. However, Vadim Abramov's team is displaying a very dangerous and attacking style of play. In terms of experience, “Dinamo” has the upper hand. “Sho‘rtan”, however, may achieve something due to their great desire, but time will tell what happens.
