Sabail take on the visitors Qarabag in the round18 match of Azeri Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, December 24th at ASCO Arena (Baku).
Sabail are the main outsider of the Azerbaijani championship, who are now on the relegation and occupies the last 10th place in the championship. In 17 rounds played this season, the hosting side barely managed to obtain 2 wins. Moreover, the black and blue, after suffering 0-2 defeat from Sumgayit, have a series of 6 defeats in the championship in a row. They have 1 point to the rescue zone, the whole struggle is ahead, but in this match, it will be hard to hope for points, especially since Qarabag, very angry, will come to them for the championship match.

Qarabag flew out of the Azerbaijan Cup rather unexpectedly just recently. In a two-match confrontation with Gabala (2-2, 0-1), everything was decided by the defeat of the visitors by the middle peasants of the championship. Naturally, the manager Gurbanov will draw conclusions and set up his team accordingly for the main outsider of the championship, so from the first minutes I expect a powerful football from the championship leader (7 points in reserve) and pressure on the outsider's goal without any "ifs".
Enraged and angry Qarabag from the first minutes is able to press Sabail to their own penalty box and ensure a result of 3 points in the first 45 minutes of the game. So it was at home in the first round (3-1), when in the first half it was already 2-0. Taking into account the difference in the class and performance skills of the teams, as well as the evil Aghdam after the cup failure, Sabail's bus in the first 45 minutes has every chance to break down and miss decently.
Prediction for the match: Qarabag to win the first half.
