Navbakhor and Pakhtakor meet so often that they know each other's game well, especially the most recent meeting when Navbakhor went away and beat Pakhtakor 2-0 at their own ground. This time, though, it is different: Pakhtakor are chasing the leaders and refusing to let them get away, and this game is at Navbakhor's home, where they have always been hard to beat. Navbakhor are unbeaten in 5 straight, having just thrashed a visiting side 4-1, then edged a 3-2 win, and finished with a 2-2 comeback draw. Their attack is still working well. Pakhtakor are also unbeaten in 5 straight, but theirs have been more controlled wins, having just won 3-1 in the league before being halted by a draw in the Asian cup. The styles of the two teams are clearly different. Navbakhor hold more of the ball and create chances continuously, while Pakhtakor put fewer shots on target but also give up more chances to their opponents. This game should open up into an exchange in midfield, and the first thing to watch after kickoff is whether Navbakhor set up to attack right away or wait for the counter.
