Uzbekistan vs Kyrgyzstan

Uzbekistan will be looking to maintain their unbeaten record at this year's CAFA Nations Cup when they face Kyrgyzstan in their final Group A fixture.

The Uzbeks are currently top of the table and will be eyeing a place in the final of the competition. They should have too much for the Kyrgyz, who are struggling at the moment.

Uzbekistan News

Uzbekistan claimed a 2-1 victory over Turkmenistan last time out, with Igor Sergeev netting a first-half brace. That result maintains their unbeaten record in the group, having begun their campaign with a 1-1 draw with Oman.

The Uzbeks are eyeing a place in the final and will need a win on Friday, with Oman also failing to beat Turkmenistan in the other group game. Timur Kapadze’s team will be confident of fulfilling their own end of that bargain, having gone unbeaten in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions.

Scoring goals has not been a problem for Uzbekistan, who have found the net in eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions. Two of the last three fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals, while they have conceded in their two matches in this tournament.

Kyrgyzstan News

Kyrgyzstan head into Friday's clash off the back of a 2-1 defeat to Oman in their previous fixture. Tamirlan Kozubayev struck the opener midway through the first half, and they looked to be headed for the win before capitulating in injury time.

Having begun with a 1-1 draw with Oman, Kyrgyzstan have one point on the board and still have an outside chance of reaching the final, but will need results to go their way. However, they are unbeaten in eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions, suffering five defeats on this run.

Poor defending has been one of the issues for Kyrgyzstan, who are without a clean sheet in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they have scored in eight fixtures on this run, while six of those matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Uzbekistan are often superior against Kyrgyzstan and have won all nine previous matches. Both teams met twice in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, with the Uzbeks earning a 3-2 away win before returning home for a 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture.
