Gabala

LLLDLL 📉

Gabala will be looking for an improved result here following a 4-0 Premyer Liqasi loss in their previous game against Zira.

Rəhim Sadıxov (4'), Raphael Alemão (25') and Ceyhun Nuriyev (28') scored for Zira.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent games that Gabala haven’t conceded. The reality is that Gabala have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 15 goals in the process.

Turan Tovuz go into this clash following on from a 2-0 Premyer Liqasi win over Sabah in their previous game.

The overall average goals scored per game during that spell comes to a paltry 2.33, with the average goals for Turan Tovuz equalling 1.33. We will see whether or not that trend can be continued on in this game.
