**Mash'al Mubarek sits last with just 4 points from 21 matches and a -32 goal difference, making automatic relegation highly probable as the season heads into its final third.** Bunyodkor (19 points), Kokand 1912 (20), Xorazm (21), and Surkhon (23) occupy the play-off danger zone, where recent results and remaining fixtures will determine which sides drop into the relegation play-offs against Pro League sides. Neftchi leads the table comfortably, but the bottom battle features inconsistent form and heavy defeats for the lower clubs. With roughly nine rounds left in the double round-robin, points from direct confrontations among the bottom six will shape final positions and play-off qualification.
