Neftchi and Sumgait will play in the 24th round of the Azerbaijan Premier League. The rivals occupy adjacent places in the standings - sixth and seventh, respectively. The hosts are two points ahead of today's opponent, but eight points behind fifth place. Which of the competitors will be able to score tournament points on February 21? The answer is in our forecast.
Command Analysis
FK Neftchi
AzerbaijanCurrent form
Neftchi has not been in a leading position in the Azerbaijani championship for a long time. The team finished last season only in fifth place and for the first time in a long time did not qualify for European competitions. At the moment, the situation is about the same. The club occupies the sixth place in the Premier League and is unlikely to reach even the fifth position, as the gap is already eight points. Recently, Samir Abasov's team scored a series of three consecutive victories, beating Shamakhi (1-0) and Zirya (2-1) in the championship, as well as Kyapaz (2-0) in the cup. It was only on February 16 that the Baku club was defeated again, losing to Karabakh (0:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad on the eve of the next match.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has never drawn in the last five matches.
- The hosts have won four of their last six matches at home.
Approximate composition: Jafarov - Kutz, Lebon, Guzzo, Yuri Mathias, Aliev, Bauer, Darbo, Coffey, Mahmudov, Sheidaev
Sumqayit
AzerbaijanCurrent form
Sumgait finished last season in a decent fourth place and even participated in the selection of the Conference League, but in the first stage lost in a two-legged match to the Hungarian Fehervar." (1:2, 0:0). Unfortunately, this season the team is already closer to the outsiders and occupies only the seventh place in the standings. After 23 matches, the visitors are only five points ahead of the last Sabail, so the whole struggle to keep their registration in the league is still ahead. The team from Sumgait failed the winter segment and has not won for quite a long time. In February matches, Vagif Javadov's team lost to Shamakhi (0:1) and Zira (0:3).
Disqualifications and injuries
The guests have no problems with the squad on the eve of the next match of the Azerbaijani championship.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has not scored for eight consecutive matches
- The guests have been winning since December 16 last year
Approximate composition: Dzhenetov - Abdullazada, Badalov, Kekhat, Khachaev, Milovich, Mossi, Muradov, Tashkin, Zhalolliddinov, Yansane
Trends
The bet is an accurate score of 2:0
The hosts have scored two goals in the last two winning matches.
7.50Bet At least one team won't score
This bet has been played in the last eight away matches
1.64The bid is the number 2 in the final bill
This pattern has worked in three of the last five matches of the hosts.
2.55Tip and bets
The guests are in terrible shape right now and there is no hint of an end to the winless streak yet. The hosts are looking much better and have won most of the recent matches. We believe that the Baku team will be able to please their fans on their own field by winning a landslide victory over the stalled Sumgait.
Our forecast is that Neftchi will win in 1.77
Bet on the total
The guests have huge problems with the realization of scoring chances - they have already played eight matches without scoring goals. It is difficult to expect success from such a team in attack, and the hosts alone are unlikely to be able to break through a total of 2.5 goals. We don't think that more than two goals will be scored in this match.
Our forecast is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.55
Betting on corners
We pointed out above that the teams are not playing so well offensively and will probably pay more attention to defensive actions, so we'll bet that there won't be many serves from the corner flag in this match.
Our forecast is a total of less than 9.5 corners in 1.65
