Sumqayıt form and stats
They also participated in Azerbaidjan Cup last season. This ended in the quarter-finals, when Qabala drew the shortest straw.Sumqayıt have only collected 1 point from their away games in the Premier League, after 0-1-7 (8 played).
There might be some fixture complaints from Sumqayıt as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 2-4 against Kesl FK. As you can tell from the result, the match against Kesl FK was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
A draw for Sumqayıt before that, at their own venue hosting Neftci (2-2).Goals are few and far between in Sumqayıt's away league games. Only {3 goals} from 8 travels.
