Istiklol Dushanbe hosts Kuktosh in round 4 of Tajikistan Vysshaya Liga. The match will be played on Saturday, April 25th at Central Republican Stadium (Dushanbe)
Perhaps the country's champion will enter the season gradually. No special competitors are expected in the current championship, and the Dushanbe team will take its toll at a distance. Yes, Dushanbe-83 was defeated in the opening match, but it was a newcomer to the league. A victory over CSKA with a two-goal difference and a draw gained in extra time of the match against Khatlon - so far, the hosts are gaining points exclusively due to their skills, but I would not say about the blowout defeats. By the way, there were not so many such defeats even in the last winning season. Istiklol won with a difference of one or two goals.

The opponent began more than successfully. Nobody expects a sensation from Kuktosh. Last season the team almost relegated from the Premier League, but now it can compete for a place in the top five. Why not? The defense looks good at the start - just one goal conceded in three rounds, and this is the best indicator in the league. The team has not suffered a single loss. And although the final conclusions can be made precisely on the game with the champion, it is already becoming clear – Kukstosh players won’t be whipping boys in the current season.
I will choose the visitors’ victory with a plus handicap of 2.5 goals. Yes, the champion is likely to win, but I don’t see any particular advantage of Istiklol over the opponents, although the team had already headed the standings. And the visitors usually show quite successful resistance in head-to-head meetings - Kuktosh lost with a difference of more than two goals only once.
Prediction for the match: Kuktosh to win with a +2.5 handicap
