With their 2 point advantage in the league table, Zira fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Sebail.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Azerbaidjan Cup. This match was also played here. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Sebail have had more rest.
