Sumgayit vs Qarabağ Live Stream, Predictions

📊 Form Guide

Sumgayit

LWLLWL

Sumgayit will be hoping for a better result after the 4-0 Premyer Liqasi loss in their previous game against Sabah.

Joy-Lance Mickels (45'), Oleksiy Kashchuk (75') and Anatoli Nuriyev (85') scored for Sabah.

Sumgayit have not been in good attacking form of late. Their sum of goals equals just 4 versus opponents during their last 6 matches. In those games, Sumgayit have also seen the tally of goals scored against them total 10. Let’s see whether or not that trend can be continued on into this next match.

Qarabağ

Qarabağ come into this encounter following on from a 3-0 Premyer Liqasi win against Səbail in their most recent fixture.

For Qarabağ, the scorers were Elvin Cəfərquliyev (24'), Musa Qurbanlı (35') and Júlio Romão (53').

A succession of dependable displays from the Qarabağ defensive players has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 3 from their last 6 fixtures overall. During the same time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 9.

👥 Head to head

An examination of their past head to head meetings stretching back to 20/09/2021 tells us that these encounters have been miserable for Sumgayit. They have not managed to come away with any victories whatsoever while Qarabağ have remained in the ascendancy, winning in 100% of those games played.

An aggregate of 20 goals were shared by the two clubs in this period, with 1 of them from Sumgayit and 19 for Atlılar. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.33.

The previous league match featuring the two was Premyer Liqasi match day 10 on 16/10/2022 when the final score was Qarabağ 3-1 Sumgayit.
