The days of FIFA are behind us, and it's time to focus on the national championship matches again. The 21st round of matches in the Super League kicks off today. However, this time the round will consist of 7 pairs, not 8 as usual. The reason is that the "Dynamo" - "Andijan" match, which was supposed to be held in Samarkand, has been postponed to November 15.

19:00 PM. Nasaf - Bukhara
The match in the city of Karshi will become the opening of the tour. The reigning champion and currently the sole leader, Nasaf, will host Bukhara, who are struggling to stay in the bottom tier. The game is expected to be interesting, as both teams play for completely different goals. Nasaf is considered the favorite, while Bukhara is looking for a chance through a counter-attack.

18:30 PM. "Mash'al" - "Shurtan"
The clash of neighboring teams is a real oasis derby. Since Shurtan is in last place in the championship, any point is of great importance to them. "Mash'al" is currently playing its home games in Guzar, at their opponent's stadium. Therefore, guzaris appear in their homes as "guests."
September 12
18:30 PM. "Sogdiana" - AGMK
The match in Jizzakh is known for its uncompromising nature. Ivan Boshkovich and Mirjalol Qosimov are coaches who know each other well. Having strengthened their squad in the second round, Sogdiana could now challenge their previous opponent.
19:30 PM. Navbahor - Surkhon
In the clash in Namangan, Sergey Lushchan's team will host Surkhon. Both teams are looking for victory, but the probability of a draw is also high.
September 13
18:00 PM. "Kokand-1912" - "Kyzylkum"
It is clear that it will not be easy for the hosts in the match in Kokand. "Kyzylkum" continues an unbeaten streak under Akmal Rustamov in the last 9 rounds: 6 draws and 3 victories. This match will show how they got out of the FIFA day break.
19:00 PM. "Pakhtakor" - "Neftchi"
The main match of the round will take place in the capital. The clash between the eternal rivals - "Pakhtakor" and "Neftchi" - is of great interest as a true "Uzbek classic." When both clubs are fighting for the championship, the defeat will be very difficult for them. Everyone remembers that Pakhtakor achieved a resounding 0-4 victory in their first match in Fergana.
September 14
18:00 PM. "Bunyodkor" - "Khorezm"
Ilyos Zeytullayev's team will host "Khorezm," managed by Hakim Fuzaylov. The guests are performing well against the leaders. This time too, it might not be easy for the favorite.
Thus, the main focus of the 21st round will be on the Pakhtakor vs. Neftchi match in Tashkent. In other matches, serious struggles for the lower and middle levels will continue.
