Sumgayit

LDDLLL 📉

Sumgayit will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 1-0 Premyer Liqasi loss in their previous game against Neftçi.

Filip Ozobić (90') was the scorer for Neftçi.

A recurring feature of recent Sumgayit games is the number of results with a nil in them.

Taking their prior six matches leading up to this one, in 6 of them a wager on BTTS would have lost. While that may be of interest, we will just have to wait and see whether that pattern shall be replicated here in this game.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Sumgayit:

• have not registered a win against Qarabağ in their last 2 league games.
• haven’t won at home in the past 3 matches in the league.

Qarabağ

LLLWWD

Previously, Qarabağ drew 1-1 in the Premyer Liqasi match with Sabah.

The only name on the scoresheet from Qarabağ was Riçard Almeyda (17'). Jesse Sekidika (35') was the scorer for Sabah.

In the course of their 6 most recent matches, Gurban Gurbanov's Qarabağ have managed to stick the ball in the net a total of 10 times therefore earning them the goals scored per game average of 1.67.

👥 Head to head

A glance at their past head-to-head clashes stretching back to 29/09/2023 tells us that Sumgayit have won 1 of them and Qarabağ 5, with the number of draws being 0.

A combined total of 21 goals were yielded between them in this period, with 2 for Sumgayit and 19 for Atlılar. That is an average goals per game value of 3.5.

The last league match featuring these clubs was Premyer Liqasi match day 17 on 16/12/2024 which finished with the scoreline of Qarabağ 5-0 Sumgayit.

🗞️ Team News: Qarabağ

Owing to an otherwise healthy group of players, there is just the one fitness worry for the Qarabağ manager Gurban Gurbanov to be concerned with. Amin Ramazanov (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be in action.

✨ Prediction

We feel that in this game, Sumgayit would be disappointed if they were not to find the net against this Qarabağ team, but a single goal might not quite be enough.

We therefore reckon that it will be a close game with a 1-2 victory for Qarabağ when the full-time whistle blows. Let’s see what eventuates.
