Keşlə FK form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Keşlə FK have only managed 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses from their games here at ASK Arena.

A strong away win for Keşlə against Sebail the last match, as Vəlizadə, Azadov and Hacıyev were on target.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Sabah (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Keşlə FK perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Keşlə FK as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Keşlə FK has won three of these, drawn three and lost seven.

Keşlə FK have conceded 14 in these home matches.

Sumqayıt form and stats

There's been little loot from Sumqayıt's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 10 away games in the Premier League. Sumqayıt only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws. Three has not been a lucky number for Sumqayıt as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Sebail match.

There might be some fixture complaints from Sumqayıt as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 1-2 against Neftçi.

A 0-1 defeat away at Zira before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sumqayıt playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were three Sumqayıt wins, one draw and three defeats.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Sumqayıt's away games in the league this season with only 5 goals from 10 matches. 13 goals have been conceded by Sumqayıt in these games.

Head 2 Head

The teams involved faced each other before this season: Sumqayıt - Keşlə 1-3. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - three - three (Keşlə FK wins - draws - Sumqayıt wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
