Sabah

LDDLLW

Sabah are hoping to win again after their last result, a 3-2 Premyer Liqasi triumph against Səbail.

The only scorer from Sabah was Joy-Lance Mickels (90'). Soulyman Allouch (74') was the scorer for Səbail.

It has been all too rare in recent games that Sabah haven’t conceded. The facts show that Sabah have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 10 goals on the way.

Analysis of their past results shows that Sabah:

• remain undefeated by Qarabağ when playing them at home in the previous 2 league games.
• have not been beaten in the league by Qarabağ in their previous 2 matches.
• are winless against Qarabağ in their last 3 league matches.

Qarabağ

WDWWWW 📈

Qarabağ come into this game after a 3-0 Premyer Liqasi win vs Neftçi in their most recent fixture.

For Qarabağ, the goalscorers were Riçard Almeyda (22') and Yassine Benzia (40').

A run of outstanding displays by the Qarabağ defenders has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their previous 6 clashes overall. During the same period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 15. However, time will tell if the trend will be replicated in this match.

👥 Head to head

A review of their prior head to head meetings stretching back to 24/11/2023 shows us that Sabah have won 1 of these games and Qarabağ 2, with the tally of draws being 3.

Loads of goals were seen in those games, too - 23 in all at an average of 3.83 goals per match.

The previous league game featuring these clubs was Premyer Liqasi match day 24 on 22/02/2025 when it ended Qarabağ 1-1 Sabah.

📰 Team News: Qarabağ

In an otherwise available group, there’s just the lone fitness worry for the Qarabağ manager Gurban Gurbanov to be concerned about. Amin Ramazanov (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be playing here.

💡 Prediction

It looks to us that this Qarabağ are likely to be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

In contrast, Sabah could well struggle to get goals of their own but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be scoring here.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a 1-3 victory for Qarabağ at the end of the 90 minutes.
