Qarabag vs Sabail: forecast for the Azerbaijani Championship match
A match between Karabakh and Sabail will be held as part of the 22nd round of the Azerbaijani championship. The hosts are habitually leading in the standings and will surely take the next championship. The guests are at the opposite pole of the standings and are the main candidate for relegation, taking the last place. Is it worth waiting for a sensation on February 11? The answer is in our forecast.

Command Analysis

Qarabag FK

Current form
Last season turned out to be the most successful for Qarabag in all respects. We managed to take the national championship and cup on the domestic stage, but we also managed to prove ourselves in Europe. The club managed to reach the 1/8 finals of the Europa League, where it almost knocked out Bayer Leverkusen, who went undefeated all season. Unfortunately, it was not possible to perform in the same style this time. The team finished last in the Europa League standings, scoring only three points in eight matches. Recently, the team had a series of four defeats in a row, which is unthinkable for a club of this level. In the Europa League, Gurban Gurbanov's team lost to FCSB (2:3) and Greek Olympiacos (0:3), and in the Azerbaijani championship, Karabakh unexpectedly lost to Turan (1:2) and Zira (2:3). This series of failures was interrupted only on the sixth of February. Today's opponent, Sabail, was defeated in the quarterfinals of the Azerbaijan Cup (1-0).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad on the eve of the 22nd round.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has lost four of its last five matches.
- None of the last ten matches of the hosts ended in a draw.
The approximate line-up: Kohalski — Veshovich, Huseynov, Mateusz Silva, Jafarkuliev — Yankovic, Romao — Kashchuk, Benziya, Zubir — Giga.

Sabail

Current form
Sabail is having an extremely unsuccessful season. The team occupies the last place in the Premier League standings, but is only two points behind the penultimate "Kapaz", with a match in reserve. Thus, the guests' situation is not hopeless. Moreover, in the last two matches in January, the guests managed to win dry victories, beating Sumgait (2:0) and Kyapaz (1:0). On the first of February, the outsider managed to score one point in the away match with Turan (1-1). In the first match of the quarterfinals of the Azerbaijan Cup, Sabail lost to today's opponent with a score of 0:1.
Disqualifications and injuries
The guests have no problems with the line-up on the eve of the 22nd round.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has lost only one of the last four matches.
- In the last four away matches, the visitors conceded only one goal.
Approximate composition: Guliyev - Sofir, Litvin, Chelik, Rustamov, Larruchea, Abdullazada, Gomis, Nabiev Yu., Mammedov, Nabiev F.

2.00Tip and bets
The hosts are in terrible shape right now and haven't shown a high level of play for a long time. The team is still the strongest in the Premier League, but Qarabag played much better last season. Now the club is often defeated even in the domestic championship. The guests are unlikely to be able to take away points in the upcoming match, but they may well impose a fight on the champion, as in the recent cup match.
Our forecast is an Asian handicap (+2) on Sabail for 1.78
Bet on the total
The guests will certainly play in a defensive style, as Sabail has almost no chances in an open confrontation. Qarabag has often had problems with scoring chances lately, so high performance in this match is far from guaranteed. We would bet that the audience won't see more than three goals.
Our forecast is a total of less than 3.5 goals in 1.77
Betting on corners
We believe that the opponents will rely on defense in this match, so it is unlikely that the total number of corners will be broken.
Our forecast is a total of less than 10.5 corners in 1.93
