Istiklol Dushanbe hosts CSKA Pamir Dushanbe in round 2 of Tajikistan Vysshaya Liga. The match will be played on Sunday, April 12th at Central Republican Stadium (Dushanbe)
For six consecutive years, there has been no squad in Tajikistan that could take the throne from Istiklol, and the champions began this season very revealingly either, having bombed the rookie of the league, Dushanbe 83, with a 7-0 score. Will there be a continuation of such a cool game by the current champions of the country? Well, why not? They get along well with the local army team, and they lost in only one out of 11 home meetings with CSKA. Now the team of Vitaly Levchenko (head coach) is on a good wave. A great start in the national championship and another conquered Super Cup of the country, which Istiklol took from Khukand, also give the team additional positive emotions.

The away match against the country's most powerful team is clearly not that thing that CSKA needs now. After all, the army team already managed to lose to Khujand in the first round (1-3), and CSKA was very unlucky with the calendar, having got two strongest rivals in the first two rounds. In general, CSKA is considered a middle peasant in Tajikistan and doesn’t pretend to anything serious. Actually, one does not have to wait for positive surprises in matches with top clubs, and this match is no exception.
The coefficient for a clean victory of Istiklol is too low, so you need to bet on the hosts' victory with a minus handicap. Given how these teams took the start of the season, there will be no surprise in the hosts’ win with a difference of two or three goals. Therefore, I will stop my choice on Istiklol’s victory with a -1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Istiklol Dushanbe to win with -1.5 handicap
