Match preview

Araz host Sabah FA in round three of the Premyer Liqa looking to find their footing after a difficult start to the campaign. The home side have picked up just one point from their opening two matches, having played out a goalless draw with Imisli FK before suffering a heavy 5-0 defeat away to Neftchi Baku. Araz have yet to find the back of the net in league play this season.

Sabah FA enter the contest in strong scoring form across domestic and European fixtures. In league action, they secured a 2-0 home victory over Kapaz in their sole fixture, while also posting high-scoring wins in European qualification matches against Aarhus and Hapoel Beer Sheva. They will be without K. Aliyev due to a tendon injury, but their attack has remained potent.
