FC Kapaz host FK Neftchi on Saturday, Feb 20 at 5:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 2 points in the Premier League, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives FC Kapaz a slight edge, but FK Neftchi are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
