ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan (Interstat) — FK Arkadag will host Merw on Sunday in a Ýokary Liga match, looking to continue its recent dominance in the fixture.

The game, scheduled for Nov. 30, 2025, pits a league powerhouse against a struggling side. Arkadag enters the match following a 2-0 victory over Sagadam on Nov. 9, extending a strong run of form. The club has been nearly unstoppable this season, with recent results including a 4-1 win over Ahal and a 5-0 rout of Koepetdag Asgabat.

In contrast, Merw is reeling from a 2-1 home loss to Nebitci on Nov. 8. The team has managed just one win in its last 10 outings across all competitions, a stretch marked by defensive struggles and narrow defeats.

The head-to-head record heavily favors the hosts. The teams have met twice already this season, with Arkadag winning both contests by a score of 3-1 on Sept. 11 and Sept. 13. Arkadag has won the last five meetings, outscoring Merw 18-2 in that span. The most lopsided result was a 7-0 victory for Arkadag on April 2, 2025.

According to the Interstat game simulator, the projected final score is FK Arkadag 3, Merw 0.

Following this match, Arkadag’s next fixture is a road game against Asgabat on Dec. 15. Merw will travel to face Ahal in its next league match on Dec. 7.
