Command Analysis

Turan Tovuz

Current form
Turan has demonstrated good results this season and continues to be among the top three teams in the Premier League. However, the distance from the leaders is already quite large, so, apparently, bronze medals are the maximum for the hosts in this championship. The team is one point ahead of Zira and has a game in hand. The last matches did not go well for Kurban Berdyev team. After draws with Karabakh (0:0), Sabail (1:1) and Sabah (1:1), the club from Tovuz lost to Araz (0:1), and then also flew out of the cup, losing to Sabah in a penalty shootout.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with their squad ahead of the next Premier League match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not won for five matches in a row.
- In the last four head-to-head meetings, the hosts have not lost to today opponents
Estimated lineup: Konovalov - Khdzhiech, Marandici, Rzev, Shafiev - Turabov, John, Christian, Miller - Serrano, Hackman.

Keshla

Current form
Last season, Shamakhi took first place in the First Division and received a ticket to the Premier League, where it does not intend to fight for survival. The team currently occupies seventh place out of ten, but is only three points ahead of the penultimate Kapaz. The last four rounds were unsuccessful for the guests - the club lost to Zira (0:2), Sumgait (1:2) and Kapaz (0:1), but managed to draw with Neftchi (2:2). The guests will no longer be able to fight for the Azerbaijan Cup, as they lost to Zira (1:3) in the 1/8 finals on December 4.
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with their lineup before the match with the third team in the championship.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team suffered three defeats in a row
- The club has not won for five matches in a row

Trends
Bet Exact score 1:0
Turan last two victories over today opponents were won with this score
6.50Bet At least one team will not score
This bet has played in two of the last four matches between the teams.
1.65Tip and bets
The hosts are fighting for the top three, but have slowed down a bit in recent matches. Elimination from the cup will allow them to focus on the fight for medals, and a victory in the upcoming match could strengthen Turan position. Shamakhi has looked even worse than its opponent in recent matches, so this is an ideal chance for the Tovuz club to regain confidence in its abilities.
Our prediction is a victory for Turan at 1.60
Bet on total
As is known, Kurban Berdyev teams always approach the game in defense with special attention. This principle has not changed in the Azerbaijan championship. The last four matches of the hosts in the championship ended with a total under. We believe that the players of "Turan" will play pragmatically now, so we should not expect many goals.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.67
Bet on corners
We mentioned above that the teams are not playing well in attack and will probably pay more attention to defensive actions, so we will bet that there will not be many corner flag deliveries in this match.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners for 1.68
