On the other hand, the visitors are going into this game with an 11 match un-beaten run since April. They booked their slot into at this stage after a 2-1 home and away win over Dinamo Tbilisi of Georgia. Head coach Samir Abbasov will hope the duo of Namik Alaskarov and the skipper Emin Mahmudov can continue their brilliant, as his team seek to upset the odds by taking a huge win back to Baku this evening.
The Azerbaijan Premier league winners look the “underdogs” in this fixture in bare-eyes but basing on statistics, they are going to breach the odds and win it all. Azeri outsiders FK Neftchi had previously registered a 2-1 victory over Russian giants Spartak Moscow, so they are in fine form ahead of this fixture.
