Command Analysis

FC Kapaz

Current form
After 20 matches, Kapaz is at the bottom of the standings and may well be relegated from the Azerbaijan Premier League this year. The team has only managed to earn 14 points and is one point behind the penultimate Sabail. Most likely, it is between these teams that the fight for survival will unfold. This season, the hosts have already conceded 44 goals, which is much more than their competitors. Sabail and Neftchi, who share second place in this indicator, have conceded only 30 goals each. In the last round, Azar Bagirov team lost to their main competitor, Sabail (0:1). The consolation is that Kapaz has scored points in the last two home matches. First, they managed to draw with Sumgayit (0:0), and then they crushed Baku Neftchi (5:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad ahead of the match with Sabah.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won only one of its last five matches.
- Kapaz have never beaten Sabah in their last 12 head-to-head matches
Estimated lineup: Santos - Almeida, Ba, Khvalko, Pachu, Shakhverdiev, Ardazishvili, Verdaska, Guseynli, Manafov, Suleymanov

Sabah FK

Current form
Last season, Sabah managed to take third place in the Azerbaijan Premier League, losing only to second-placed Zira on additional indicators. The Baku club participated in the Conference League selection, but after a victory over Maccabi Haifa, an unexpected defeat followed from Irish St. Patrick (0:1, 0:1). Things are not going well in the Azerbaijan championship either. The club is only in fifth place and is quite far from the fight for medals. Vasily Berezutsky charges are eight points behind third-placed Zira.
The last rounds were not the best for the guests. After the victory over Araz (1:0), there was an away defeat to one of the outsiders, Shamakhi (1:3). In the January matches, Sabah shared points with Neftchi (1:1) and Sumgait (0:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with their lineup at the moment.

1.73Tip and bets
The visitors are superior to the hosts in both ambition and the quality of the squad, but Sabah has not been able to regain confidence in their abilities lately. The team mostly plays draws and such a result may well be repeated in today match, because they will have to play against the last team in the league, whose motivation will be off the charts. We believe that the Kapaz players will give their all and will be able to impose a fight on the clear favorite.
Our betting tip is Asian handicap (+1) on Kapaz for 1.88
Bet on total
The hosts will definitely try to play defensively, since in an open confrontation there are almost no chances against Sabah. The visitors have quite a high attacking potential, but in recent matches they have been rather weak in attack. We believe that this time the favorite will not be able to show a productive performance. We suggest betting on the total under.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.83
Bet on corners
We believe that the teams in this match will rely on defense, so we are unlikely to see a large number of corners here. It is worth betting on the total under this indicator.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners for 1.80
