National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Qaradağ Lökbatan or Zira that keep their silverware dream alive.
Zira could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Premier League game only four sleeps ago.
Qaradağ Lökbatan form and stats
Last season, Qaradağ Lökbatan's Azerbaidjan Cup journey ended in the 1st round.Qaradağ Lökbatan's results here at Lökbatan OIK stadionu in the Birinci Dasta have been very modest with 0 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats. With eleven home Birinci Dasta games in a row without a win, the Qaradağ Lökbatan fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Zir II game long ago, can be stopped today. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Qaradağ Lökbatan with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Kapaz game, 82 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
