Turkmenistan are out of the race for the World Cup qualification as well. The team should feel disappointed as they were one point short from advancing for the third stage. Turkmenistan gained 13 points in eight matches of the second stage and finished third in the group behind Iran and Oman, who took first two positions. Turkmenistan played two matches this year, beating India 2-1 and losing to Kyrgyzstan, 0-1.
Tajikistan and Turkmenistan faced one another five times in their history. The hosting side won two of these matches, two games ended with draws and Turkmenistan won one time. The opponents show quite low scoring in their recent matches and we can expect the team to combine two goals as the most.
Prediction for the match: under 2.5 goals.
