Neftçi will go into this clash after a 3-0 Premyer Liqasi win against Səbail in their last game.

The only scorer from Neftçi was Dembo Darboe (1').

The stats don’t lie, and Neftçi have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 12 goals in total. At the back, Neftçi just haven’t been too solid at all. Historical results aside, we will just have to wait and see whether that pattern might be sustained in this match or not.

ℹ️ Team News: Sabah

There aren’t many selection issues, with just one fitness concern for the Sabah gaffer Krunoslav Rendulić to contend with from of an almost fully healthy group. Amin Seydiyev (Torn muscle fiber in the adductor area) won’t play.

💭 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Sabah will most probably get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.

At the other end, Neftçi could well struggle to get a goal of their own but do we see them converting at least once as well.

Our tip is for a fairly comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Sabah when all’s said and done.
