Qarabağ form and stats

Perfect Premier League season at home so far for Qarabağ 3 wins from 3 appearances.

A nice win for Qarabağ last time playing, versus Sabah. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-3. A goal frenzy last time out for Qarabağ, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Sabah. Fun stuff to watch!

Before that match, a loss in the away fixture against Freiburg in the Europa League.

Qarabağ always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Azərsun Arena with 11 goals in 3 league games. Qarabağ's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Sabah form and stats

Sabah have six points from their first three away games in the Premier League, meaning two victories and a loss.

Sabah play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 3-4 to Qarabağ (placed 1st). Until that loss this side had gained at least a draw from seven league rounds in a row. As you can tell from the result, the match against Qarabağ was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Late heartbreak for Sabah in the Qarabağ match, as the deciding 3-4 goal came deep into overtime.

A draw for Sabah before that, at their own venue hosting Sebail (0-0).

Sabah create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 8 goals in 3 travels. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Sabah have conceded 5 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head
