📊 Form Guide

Sabah

DLDLDL 📉

Sabah will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 2-0 Premyer Liqasi defeat last time out to Qarabağ.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games that Sabah have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Sabah have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 10 goals in the process. Such a trend isn’t assured to be sustained into this game, of course.

Their prior results show that Sabah:

• haven't been defeated in their previous 2 home league matches.
• are without a home win in the past 4 league games. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.

Gabala

WLWLDD ⚖

In their last fixture, Gabala drew 1-1 in the Premyer Liqasi match with Zira.

For 5 of the past six games featuring Gabala, a notably low volume of goals have been scored between them and their opposition. The overall average goals scored per game during that period works out to a meagre 1.83, with the number of goals averaged by Dağ canavarı being 0.83.

Pre-game facts show that Gabala:

• have not won against Sabah when having played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
• are without an away win for the past 3 league matches.

↔️ Head to head

An examination of their prior head to head clashes stretching back to 01/04/2019 shows us that Sabah have won 3 of these & Gabala 2, with the tally of drawn matches being 1.

ℹ️ Team News: Sabah

Sabah manager Rövşän Babayev will be thankful to have no fitness worries to speak of coming into this clash owing to a fully healthy group available for selection.

ℹ️ Team News: Gabala

Owing to a completely injury-free squad ready to go, Gabala manager Elmar Bakhshiyev doesn’t have any fitness worries to speak of before this game.

💡 Prediction

Our feeling is that Sabah will do well to breach the defence of this Gabala side who we think will likely manage to score & go ahead.

We’re therefore expecting a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 victory for Gabala at full-time.

There should be little in it.
