Competition: Azerbaijan Premier League
Date: Sat 11.May
Match begins: 00:00 (UTC)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Sabah are in the 5th position while the guests worry at 6th.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Sabah form and stats

With 3 wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Sabah, who have the fewest scored goals (20) in Premier League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The points were shared in Sabah's previous game, also at home. Visiting Keşlə FK travelled back with a point after a 1-1 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Neftçi (0-2).

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Sabah here, with less than one goal per game on average (12 from 13 games). Sabah have conceded 22 from these games.

Zira form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Zira, who have the fewest points (9) away in Premier League, so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-7 (win-draw-lose).

Zira delivered a 3-3 draw playing at home against Sumqayıt in their previous match; a Azerbaidjan Cup game. A 0-3 loss hosting Qarabağ before that.

The visitors have scored 11 goals from 12 away games, an average of less than one per game. Zira have conceded 18 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Zira - Sabah 0-2 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Sabah-Zira H2H statistics last three meetings regardless of arena: Sabah 3 wins, Zira 0 wins, 0 draws.
