Qabala form and stats
3 victories, 8 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Qabala, who have the fewest scored goals (20) in Premier League, have to build on here at Şəhər stadionu in the Premier League.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 383 minutes without scoring a league goal. J. Goxha was the last player to find the net.
Qabala travelled for their previous game, a trip to Zira that ended 0-0. Heartbreak before that as Qabala lost 0-1 at Sebail's place.
Qabala has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. 18 goals have been conceded.
Sabah form and stats
There's been little loot from Sabah's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 13 away games in the Premier League. Sabah only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws.
Home advantage was not enough for Sabah in their previous game, as they lost their Premier League-match, hosting Qarabağ, 0-4. Prior to that result Sabah won their away game at Sumqayt. The scoreline was 2-0.
Sabah lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one. Sabah lost heavily in their last match (against Qarabağ as mentioned above) and the damage happened in the first half. Something did not go right in the pre-game preparations.
The visitors have scored 12 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Sabah have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
