Qarabağ

DWWWWD 📈

Qarabağ prepare for this fixture following on from a 1-1 Premyer Liqasi drawn match versus Sabah.

The only player to score from Qarabağ was Redon Xhixha (42'). Bojan Letić (73') was the scorer for Sabah.

Their most recent results show that much solidity has been shown by the Qarabağ defence. Qarabağ have been miserly, resulting in the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their previous six clashes standing at 3. Such a trend isn’t assured to be continued into this match, of course.

Sumgayit

In their previous game, Sumgayit drew 2-2 in the Premyer Liqasi match with Neftçi.

Bassala Sambou (60') was the scorer for Neftçi.

The numbers tell their own story, and Sumgayit have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 13 goals in all. In defence, Sumgayit could really do with shoring things up.

Their prior results show that Sumgayit:

• have not emerged victorious against Qarabağ in away games against them for the last 3 matches in the league.
• have not won away from home in their last 2 matches in the league.

👥 Head to head

Checking on their most recent head-to-head clashes going back to 08/12/2023 tells us that Qarabağ have won 5 of them and Sumgayit 1, with the number of drawn games standing at 0.

A total of 18 goals were scored between them in these games, with 16 from Atlılar and 2 belonging to Sumgayit. That’s an average goals per game of 3.

The previous league contest featuring the two was Premyer Liqasi match day 25 on 03/03/2025 which finished with the scoreline of Sumgayit 0-2 Qarabağ.

🗞️ Team News: Qarabağ

Looking at personnel, there is just the lone fitness concern for the Qarabağ manager Gurban Gurbanov to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy set of players. Amin Ramazanov (Cruciate ligament injury) is sidelined.

💭 Prediction

It would appear that Sumgayit won’t be finding it easy to break down a Qarabağ outfit who should completely outclass their opponents in this match if all goes as we expect it to.

We’re going for a very easy time of it with a 4-0 thrashing (maybe even more) for Qarabağ after 90 minutes.
