Sabah is in impressive form as the league leaders with an 80% win rate away from home and only one defeat all season. The visitors have scored 9 goals in their last 5 matches, conceding only 2, which confirms their excellent form. Qarabağ, despite being in 2nd place, shows weaker form with 3 defeats in their last 5 matches and conceding as many as 12 goals in that period. Sabah has a better shot conversion rate (18% vs 9%) and a higher average of goals scored away (2.2 vs 1.45 for the hosts at home). Sabah's positive goal difference away from home (+15) compared to Qarabağ's at home (+11) and the advantage in recent results (WDWWW run vs LWWLL) indicate a higher chance of an away win, although Qarabağ's solid performance at their own stadium (64% wins) does not rule out a draw or an upset.
