Araz vs Neftçi: match statistics
Araz displays impressive home form with a 63% win rate at home and a goal difference of +3, making them the favorite in this encounter. The hosts have won 3 of their last 4 home matches, scoring an average of 1.63 goals per game. Neftçi has a solid away defense (50% clean sheets), but struggles offensively – as many as 50% of their away matches end without a goal scored, with an average of just 1 goal per game. The visitors' recent form is concerning (only 1 point per game in their last 5 matches), while Araz collects 1.4 points. Considering the hosts' offensive efficiency advantage (xG 1.39 vs 1.36) and Neftçi's weaker form, I expect an Araz victory, although a draw is also realistic due to the visitors' defensive solidity.
