Qabala hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 8 points and a 7th position in the Premier League table. Visiting Neftçi holds 4th place with 14 pts.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Qabala form and stats
The story so far in the Premier League for Qabala, who have the most conceded goals (14) in Premier League, at their home stadium (Şəhər stadionu) is 1 win, 4 draws and 0 defeats.
Qabala are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Keşlə FK. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Sabah in a game that was won 2-1.
Qabala are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. From these home matches, Qabala have conceded only 4 goals.
Neftçi form and stats
The visitors are W2-D1-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.
The attacking players of Neftçi have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 202 minutes.
Neftçi might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Qarabag proved too strong as Neftçi slumped to a 0-6 defeat in front of their own fans at Bakcell Arena. Before that, Neftçi travelled to Sumqayt and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.
Neftçi lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-6 beating and focus on this one.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Neftçi as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. Neftçi's manager F. Məmmədov has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 2 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
