- Sabah have the fewest points from losing position (1) in Premier League
Keşlə FK and Sabah should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Keşlə FK form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Keşlə FK, who have the fewest points (7) at home in Premier League, have only managed 1 win, 4 draws and 4 losses from their games here. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 13 attempts. Two draws in a row at home now for Keşlə.
Keşlə FK travelled for their previous game, a trip to Zira that ended 0-0. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Qarabag that ended 1-1.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Zira are coming to town in four days.
The Keşlə fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 9 matches. Keşlə have conceded 12 in these home matches.
Sabah form and stats
There's been little loot from Sabah's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 11 away games in the Premier League. Sabah only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Sabah are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
The Sabah goalkeeper Sasa Stamenkovic is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 197 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
There were no winners in Sabah's previous match, a Premier League home game that ended 0-0 vs Sebail (placed 7th). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Qabala.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sabah as they have only managed to score 10 times from 11 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Sabah's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 17 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Sabah - Keşlə 1-1 earlier this season. Last nine meetings between the teams: Keşlə won four, Sabah won one and four draws. two games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
