Sumqayit welcome Zira on Saturday, May 8 at 5:00 PM in a Premier League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Sumqayit come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Zira travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Sumqayit face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Zira have won 8 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Sumqayit won 2–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Sumqayit a slight edge, but Zira are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
