Neftchi host Xorazm in the Uzbek top flight, with the home side top of the table on 51 points from 22 matches, while the visitors sit 14th on 21 points. The picture for this game is fairly clear before a ball is kicked: Neftchi should dominate possession and push forward as the main aggressor, while Xorazm, who score little and concede more, will sit back and look to counter occasionally. The hosts come in on a stable run of form, on a winning run, and most recently closed things out with a 1-0 league win. The visitors, meanwhile, are without a win in their recent matches and lost 1-3 in their latest outing. The cumulative stats of the two only underline the difference: Neftchi have scored 50 and conceded 17 in 22 matches, while Xorazm have scored 18 and conceded 32 in the same number of games. The visitors concede a lot late in games, which is exactly when the hosts tend to score most. The game should take the shape of the hosts pressing high and probing a deep-lying visiting defence. If Neftchi score early, the game will open up further and the scoreline could stretch. The first half may stay tight because the visitors focus on containing, but in the second half, as the game stretches and Xorazm have to open up more, the hosts should find room to add more goals.
