Neftçi

LWWWWD

Neftçi enter this game following a 1-1 Premyer Liqasi drawn result vs Zira.

The only name on the scoresheet from Neftçi was Imad Faraj (64'). Brahim Konaté (90') was the scorer for Zira.

Matches featuring Neftçi have proved to be engaging ones of late with high scoring the rule rather than the exception. Over their past 6 games alone, a total of 20 goals have flown in for both teams combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 15 of them belonging to Neftçi.

Pre-game facts show that Neftçi:

• are winless against Qarabağ when playing them at home in the last 8 league games. A long time for the home supporters.
• have left without a victory over Qarabağ in their previous 17 league matches. They'll surely be desperate to put an end to that run.
• are undefeated in their last 2 home league matches.

Qarabağ

WWLWDL

After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Sabah in Premyer Liqasi action, Qarabağ and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Abdulax Xaybulayev (45') was the scorer for Sabah.

A run of resolute displays by the Qarabağ defenders has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their last 6 fixtures in total. During the same period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 16. Let’s find out if that trend will end up being sustained here.

👥 Head to head

A study of their past head to head meetings stretching back to 04/05/2024 reveals that these fixtures have not been fruitful for Neftçi. They have not been able to get any victories whatsoever while Qarabağ have maintained the edge over them, getting wins in 100% of those matches.

A sum of 18 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 0 of them from Neftçilər and 18 for Atlılar. The average number of goals per game works out to 3.

The last league game featuring the two was Premyer Liqasi match day 11 on 09/11/2025 which finished with the scoreline of Qarabağ 2-0 Neftçi.

⚡ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Neftçi will need to apply a lot of pressure to breach the defence of this Qarabağ outfit who we think should be able to grind out a win.

We therefore see a very even match with a 0-1 advantage for Qarabağ at the end of this one.

It should be a good one.
