Match description
Neftçi are the clear favorites: at home they average 14 shots and 5.5 on target per match with an average xG of 1.82, while Araz away average 8 shots, 3.23 on target and xG 1.05. Defensively Neftçi concede only 0.92 goals per home match and keep 42% clean sheets, whereas Araz concede 2.0 goals on average away and have just 23% clean sheets, giving a clear defensive advantage to the hosts. Form corroborates the gap: Neftçi have won 3 of their last 5 matches and average 2.0 points per game in that period, while Araz have 2 wins in their last 5 and average 1.2 points. It is also worth noting that Neftçi fail to score in 42% of home matches, while Araz rarely fail to score away (8%), so I expect goals from both sides, but with a situational quality advantage for the hosts.
