Energetik Preview – Can Energetik avoid fourth defeat on trot?
Monday’s hosts, Energetik, will no doubt be desperate to avoid a fourth league defeat in the Yokary Liga when they entertain fellow strugglers, Merw, at their Energetik stadiony, with both teams looking for a valuable three points in their bid to move away from the lower reaches of the division.
Recent defeats to Ahal, Sagadam and Kopetdag Asgabat have resulted in the hosts slipping down the league table to bottom place but they do have a good opportunity to halt their recent losing streak against a poor Merw outfit.
Energetik have claimed just 1 win out of their last 11 matches on home turf but this victory was a 2-1 win over Monday’s opponents, Merw, but a straight win here looks a little risky – instead, 8 of Energetik’s last 11 matches at home have seen both teams score and this looks to be the best angle for this encounter.
Merw Preview – Can Merw ease relegation worries?
It’s still early days of course but Monday’s visitors, Merw, also find themselves in early trouble in this season’s Yokary Liga campaign as they occupy second from bottom in the Turkmenistan top flight, just a point above their hosts, Energetik, prior to this relegation battle.
6 defeats out of their last 7 matches have seen Merw drop into one of the automatic relegation spots in the Yokary Liga and confidence must be fragile at best for the visitors as they prepare for this relegation clash on the back of two defeats on the trot to Kopetdag Asgabat and Altyn Asyr respectively.
To make matters worse, Merw have lost all four of their away matches to date this term while the bigger picture shows that the visitors have lost their last 10 away matches on the trot in the Yokary Liga, so the prospect of an away win here seems highly unlikely, but they have to get a result here.
