Istaravshan hosts Kuktosh in round 2 of Tajikistan Vysshaya Liga. The match will be played on Saturday, April 11th at Istaravshan-Arena (Istaravshan)
In the first round, Istaravshan hardly impressed anyone with a rather uncertain away defeat to Khatlon with a score of 1:2. And it can hardly be called an accident. Last season, the club finished the championship only three points from the relegation zone, where, by the way, the aforementioned offender was. At the same time, last year's debutant had the most defeats, except for the last team. Istaravashan also could not solve the problem with its defense, which made failures from time to time.

Kuktosh still managed to extract benefits from the first match and gained a home draw against Regar-TadAZ (0:0). The visitors also don’t shine with an excellent defensive function, but they score better than their opponent does. Just look at their loss to CSKA-Pamir Dushanbe (3:2) or a 5:3 victory over Panjshir. In the last championship, Kuktosh crossed the mark of thirty goals scored. They turned out to be so low only because of their bad defense.
The last three meetings could not reveal the true winner. In the first rounds, the teams did not show what they were ready for. For example, the hosts are definitely not ready to restrain the opponent's attacking pressure, while they are not ready to score either. Kuktosh’s attack also does not show the proper result, but the defense began to look better. I doubt that the hosts are ready to defeat Kuktosh again. If they gain victory, it will be minimal.
Prediction for the match: Kuktosh to win with +1.0 handicap
