Team News

• Turkmenistan: Head coach Mergen Orazow will be hoping his side can sharpen their finishing in front of goal after a frustrating draw in their opener. The team is expected to rely on a disciplined defensive structure while aiming to strike on the counterattack. No major injury concerns have been reported.
• Uzbekistan: Led by Timur Kapadze, Uzbekistan impressed in their previous match against Oman, showing creativity in midfield and resilience in defence. The coach may look to rotate the squad slightly to maintain freshness, but experienced forwards are likely to start as they push for three vital points at home.

Recent Form

Turkmenistan’s last five matches have been inconsistent. They earned a 1-1 draw with Kyrgyzstan and recorded wins over Thailand (3-1) and Chinese Taipei (2-1), but also dropped points in a 0-0 draw with Hong Kong and suffered a 1-3 defeat to Uzbekistan earlier this year.
Uzbekistan’s recent form looks stronger, including a 3-0 victory against Qatar and a 1-0 win over Kyrgyzstan. They also held Iran to a 2-2 draw and Oman to a 1-1 stalemate, with their only slip being a narrow loss to the UAE. Their balance between defensive discipline and attacking flair makes them favourites to win the game.

Match Preview

This is a must-win game for both sides in Group A. Turkmenistan will look to stay compact defensively, hoping to frustrate the hosts and capitalize on counterattacks. Uzbekistan, backed by a home crowd and stronger recent form, is expected to dominate possession and create more scoring opportunities. With Uzbekistan having beaten Turkmenistan 3-1 earlier this year, they carry the psychological edge, but tournament football often delivers surprises.
