With the conclusion of the 12th round matches in the Uzbekistan Super League, the situation in the league table has become even clearer. Every team is entering fierce competition with the goal of fighting for the championship, medals, and maintaining their position among the elite.
After the 12th round, Farghana's 'Neftchi' leads the competition with 31 points. This team has scored 27 goals in 12 matches while conceding only 4 goals. This statistic confirms that 'Neftchi' not only has accumulated the most points but also possesses the most reliable defense line.
Tashkent's 'Paxtakor' holds second place with 27 points and continues its fight for the championship. According to additional information, 'Bukhoro' and 'Navbahor' are positioned at 20 points, with 'Bukhoro' in third and 'Navbahor' in fourth place.
'Bunyodkor' and OKMK, having accumulated 19 points, continue their struggle for the leading group. 'Lokomotiv' is in the eighth place with 18 points, and 'Nasaf' is in the eighth place with 17 points. Additionally, 'Andijan' (16 points), 'Surkhon' (15), and 'Dinamo' (14) are actively competing for the upper tiers.
In the lower part of the table, 'Khorezm' and 'Qizilqum' are ranked with 13 points, 'Sogdiona' with 12 points, and 'Qo'qon-1912' with 11 points. The 'Mashhal' team occupies the last place in the league table with only 3 points after the 12th round.
Attention is focused on the Round 13 matches scheduled for July 21–23. On the first day of the round, 'Bukhoro' will host 'Bunyodkor' at home. This match is expected to be a crucial clash between two teams competing for the top spots.
On the same day, 'Paxtakor' will play against 'Khorezm', and one of the central matches of the round will take place in Jizzakh. There, the host 'Sogdiona' will test the competition leader 'Neftchi'.
On July 22, the pairings 'Mashhal' vs. 'Nasaf', 'Lokomotiv' vs. 'Andijan', and 'Qo'qon-1912' vs. OKMK will test each other's strength. In particular, for OKMK, getting closer to the leaders, and for 'Qo'qon-1912', the possibility of distancing themselves from the lower ranks is of significant importance.
On the last day of Round 13, 'Surkhon' will host 'Dinamo' at home. The match between 'Navbahor' and 'Qizilqum', which will take place in Namangan, is also expected to be one of the important fixtures of the round.
Overall, every round in the Super League is intensifying the fight for the championship path and positions in the tournament table. The results of Round 13 may have a noticeable impact on the point difference among the leaders, as well as the fate of the teams in the lower ranks, which increases interest in the upcoming rounds.
