Kuktosh hosts Khujand in round 3 of Tajikistan Vysshaya Liga. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 22nd at Rudaki Stadium (Kuktosh)
Kuktosh showed a good start in the new season. The team earned four points out of six possible, and the goal difference is 3-0. But they played against the teams that can be called middle peasants. Last season, Kuktosh stopped one line above the relegation zone, having outranked the team that took 7th place by only 3 points. Therefore, you should not make hasty conclusions, and Kuktosh is unlikely to impose a fight even on a team of the level of Khujand. Yes, Kuktosh started well, but I do not see any reason to believe in this team in a duel against one of the strongest teams in Tajikistan.

Khujand is the second power of Tajikistan. They can’t beat and outrank Istiklol, but playing against the rest of the teams, they can impose their game and achieve the results needed. If we look at head-to-head meetings with Kuktosh, Khujand is doing very well – the team won all six games. Are there any reasons to bet on the hosts? I do not see them. Yes, the experienced Khujand may not have a very good star - one victory and one defeat after two rounds. Nevertheless, this team is experienced and can add from match to match.
Of course, the visitors are favorites, and the bookmakers have no doubt about it. Given such a convincing history of head-to-head meetings, it’s worth betting on the visitors and expecting a change in score of these head-to-head meetings.
Prediction for the match: Khujand to win
