The FIFA days are behind us, and now the 5th round of the Super League has started. Big fights, principled clashes are further intensifying the attention of fans. Naturally, our attention is focused on the Uzbek championship.
April 2.
18:00. “Sogdiana” – “Kokand-1912”
This match in Jizzakh may be one of the most interesting and dramatic matches of the round. After the unfortunate results, “Sogdiana” coach Ivan Boshkovich resigned and Ulugbek Bakayev was brought back in his place. Bakayev, who will be holding his debut match, will certainly want to start with a victory. Also, the Jizzakh team has not yet won. If Kokand-1912 scores first, the game scenario will completely change.
19:00. Bunyodkor – Lokomotiv
A classic Tashkent derby. In this round, principle and prestige will prevail over the importance of the tournament table.
Bunyodkor is currently a team that relies on its youth. They try to achieve superiority through speed, technique and combination play. However, due to lack of experience, they sometimes have difficulty controlling the game.
Lokomotiv is a balanced and experienced team. They are dangerous through physical strength, superiority in the air and set pieces. Set pieces can be decisive in this derby.

18:00. Khorezm – Dynamo
Khorezm looks like a militant and aggressive team on their home field. They keep the opponent under pressure and apply high pressure.
“Dinamo” is a disciplined and calculated team. They like to control the ball and try to build quick attacks. This game will be a clash of speed and pressure, as well as control and positional play.
19:00. “Navbahor” – “Mash’al”
The atmosphere in Namangan is a test for any opponent. They are temporarily playing their home games in Tashkent. Timur Kapadze’s team has the advantage.
“Mash’al” is a clear outsider for now. 4 losses in 4 rounds and no goals yet. Motivation needs to be increased, but it will still be difficult.
20:15. “Nasaf” – “Andijan”
The central match of the round. “Nasaf” is a strong and experienced team at home. They know how to control the game well and do not give the opponent a chance.

18:00. “Kizilqum” – “Neftchi”
Matches in Navoi are always difficult. “Kizilqum” will provide tough resistance at home.
