📏 Form Guide

Sabah WWDDLL ⚖

Sabah will be wanting a better result here following the 2-0 Premyer Liqası defeat in their last game at the hands of Qarabağ.

Rövşän Babayev's Sabah have managed to score 5 times over their last 6 outings. The corresponding tally of goals that they have conceded in those same games amounts to 9.

Gabala LLLWWD

In their last fixture, Gabala drew 1-1 in the Premyer Liqası tie with Zira.

The stats tell the story, and Gabala have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 10 goals overall. Defensively, Dağ canavarı have not been doing too well. We will find out if that trend will be sustained into this next match.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking at their prior head-to-head clashes dating back to 04/11/2018 shows us that Sabah have won 2 of these & Gabala 3, with the number of drawn matches standing at 1.

A combined total of 13 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 6 of them for Sabah and 7 netted by Dağ canavarı. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.17.

🗞️ Team News: Sabah

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Sabah manager Rövşän Babayev to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Aleksey Isaev (Leg Injury) will miss out.

ℹ️ Team News: Gabala

In an otherwise available squad, there’s just the one fitness issue for the Gabala gaffer Elmar Bakhshiyev to contend with. James (Meniscal Injury) won’t be playing here.

💡 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Gabala will surely be able to break down this Sabah team, although it probably shouldn’t be enough to avoid defeat.

We can see a narrow 2-1 winning margin for Sabah after the 90. Could easily see this go either way.
