Match description
Sabah are the leaders and clearly superior at home: they have a 69% win rate at home, score an average of 2.13 goals per match and register an average xG of 2.19 while conceding 0.63 goals. Neftçi sit 4th and away they score 1.8 goals on average (xG 1.55) and concede 0.87, while over the whole season their record is 54 scored and 31 conceded compared to Sabah’s 72–22. In the last 5 matches Sabah have scored 9 and conceded 3 (4 wins, 1 loss), whereas Neftçi have 10 goals and 7 conceded (3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss). Sabah create more chances — averaging 16.31 shots and 6.5 on target at home versus Neftçi’s 11.73 and 5.47 away — and are less likely to finish goalless (19% vs 27%), therefore I predict a home win.
