Qabala get ready to welcome Sabah for something different than the ordinary league football: The Azerbaidjan Cup Quarter-finals leg 1 of 2.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Qabala form and stats
With 2 Premier League wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Qabala are certainly not brimming with confidence. Qabala has recorded two wins in a row here at Gabala City Stadium, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
Qabala drew their last game, 1-1 away at Sumqayt. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Zira.

Sabah form and stats
Last season their Azerbaidjan Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.2 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Sabah playing as the away team in the Premier League this season. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Sabah, as they have won on their previous two travels.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Neftci with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, a home win 5-0 against Agsu in the Azerbaidjan Cup.
After this away game Sabah return home for a Azerbaidjan Cup game against Qabala. That game is only four sleeps after this.
