Gazalkent vs Pakhtakor II Prediction & Betting Tips (8 October)

Gazalkent host Pakhtakor Tashkent II on October 8, 2026 in Matchday 21 of the Uzbekistan Pro Liga, with the home side pushing for a top-half finish at 7th in the table while the visitors remain stuck in 13th after a miserable run of form. The reverse fixture earlier this season ended 2-1 to Gazalkent on May 30, and the hosts will be confident of repeating that success on their own patch, where they have picked up the majority of their points this campaign.

Gazalkent come into this clash in solid shape, having thrashed PFC Terdu 4-1 away on September 22 and beaten Kokand-1912 2-1 in the cup on September 16, despite a goalless league draw with Yaypan Fergana on September 11. Their 2026/2027 squad features goalkeeper Asilbek Atashov, defenders David Belyavskiy, Saddam Akhmadov and Kodirbek Mamasov, midfielders Mukhammadyusuf Mirkodirov, Lazizbek Mirzaev and Adam Prisyazhnyuk, plus forwards Ivan Korshunov, Rustam Aliev and top scorer Muhammadyusuf Mirqodirov.

Pakhtakor II, meanwhile, are in freefall heading into this fixture, crushed 4-0 by PFC Shurtan on September 21 and beaten 2-0 by Jayxun on September 12, with their only recent bright spot a narrow 1-0 home win over Metalourg on September 7. Their young 2026/2027 development squad has struggled badly for goals and defensive stability away from home, which is reflected in the European odds pricing Gazalkent as clear favourites at around 1.55 for the home win, the draw near 3.90, and an away victory as high as 5.50.

All signs point to a comfortable home triumph here: Gazalkent's attacking quality, home strength and superior league position contrast sharply with Pakhtakor II's leaky defence and lack of firepower. Our prediction for this Pro Liga encounter is a decisive 3-0 win for Gazalkent, a result that would cement their push up the table while deepening the visitors' relegation worr
