There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Premier League table so far. Here's the Sumqayıt - Qabala latest:
- Sumqayıt have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Qabala have the fewest scored goals in the second half (10) in Premier League
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.
Sumqayıt form and stats
Sumqayıt have played 11 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-5-3 (wins-draws-losses). Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Kapital Bank Arena, but a victory now would be sweet for Sumqayıt.
Sumqayıt lost their last game at Qarabag (placed 1st) after a 1-4 scoreline. In the game before, an away victory match versus Neftci with a 2-0 scoreline.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Qarabag are coming to town in four days.
Sumqayıt are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 11 games. Sumqayıt have only conceded 10 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Qabala form and stats
There's been little loot from Qabala's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 10 away games in the Premier League. Qabala, who have the fewest scored goals (6) away in Premier League, only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. Bitter travels for Qabala as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Sebail match.
Qabala's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Neftci that finished 2-2. A 0-1 defeat away at Sabah before that.
The attacking power of Qabala when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 10 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Qabala have conceded 18 goals in their away games.
