Match description
Zira has a statistical home edge: 39 goals this season and an average of 1.31 goals per home match with xG 1.42, while Sumqayıt has 38 goals this season and averages 1.06 on the road with xG 1.19. Defensively the hosts look stronger — Zira concedes on average 0.94 goals per home match and has 44% clean sheets, whereas Sumqayıt concedes 1.25 goals away and has only 25% clean sheets; goal difference is +6 for Zira at home versus -3 for Sumqayıt on the road. The hosts also control possession more (59% vs 52%) and record slightly more shots on target (3.81 vs 3.63), and crucially are less likely to finish without scoring (13% of matches without a goal for Zira vs 25% for Sumqayıt). However, recent form over the last 5 matches favors the visitors — Sumqayıt have scored 7 goals and won 3 of their last 5, averaging 1.8 points per match, while Zira have only 3 goals and 1 win in their last 5, averaging 1.2 points per match. Considering the advantage in quality of chances (xG 1.42 vs 1.19), better defense and lower share of goalless matches for the hosts, I favor Zira to win, although Zira’s high share of home draws (50% draws) limits their edge.
