Kopetdag Asgabat Preview – Can Kopetdag grab a third win on trot?
It’s a local derby against crosstown rivals, Asgabat, but Monday’s hosts, Kopetdag Asgabat will be aiming to make it three league wins on the trot at the expense of their neighbours when they play host at their Köpetdag Stadium.
Recent back-to-back wins against Merw and Energetik in 3-1 and 4-2 wins respectively have helped Kopetdag up into 3rd place on the Yokary Liga ladder but it’s worth noting that both of these wins were recorded against the bottom two clubs in the division.
Prior to these victories, goals had been few and far between where Kopetdag were concerned as they’d registered 1-0 wins against Asgabat and Nebitci but had also incurred losses against Ahal and Sagadam.
Overall results have seen 6 of Kopetdag’s 8 matches to date under 2.5 goals and another tight encounter is expected with this being a local derby.
Asgabat Preview – Can Asgabat return to winning ways?
After putting together an impressive 3-match winning streak in the Turkmenistan top flight, the visitors, Asgabat, have seemingly gone off the boil following a heavy 4-1 defeat away from home at Altyn Asyr and a disappointing 1-1 draw at home with Sagadam.
Victories over Energetik and Merw (both by 1-0 margins) away from home were followed by a crushing 5-2 home win against Nebitci at their Sportkompleks Gökje, but most of the goals have been scored at home rather than on the road.
The bigger picture shows that 4 of Asgabat’s last 7 away matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals while each of the previous three encounters with Kopetdag Asgabat have ended under 2.5 goals as well.
