Neftchi Baku have demonstrated high attacking potency in the league with eight goals scored in three games, underpinned by an emphatic 5-0 win in their sole home match. In contrast, Safa Baku have struggled for goals, registering just one strike and suffering two defeats in their three outings. The disparity in offensive efficiency and Neftchi's strong home record make a home victory the most probable outcome.

Match preview
Neftchi Baku enter matchday four of the Premyer Liqa looking to rebound from their first league defeat of the campaign, a narrow 1-0 loss away to table leaders Zira. Prior to that setback, the hosts opened their domestic season in prolific fashion, racking up eight goals in their opening two league victories, including a commanding 5-0 win against Araz on home soil.
Safa Baku arrive sitting eighth in the table with three points from their first three fixtures. Their offensive output has been notably limited, having produced only one goal in total across the opening rounds while failing to score in two separate matches, most recently falling 1-0 at home against Imisli FK.
With Neftchi displaying strong scoring form in front of their home supporters and Safa struggling to generate consistent attacking threat, the hosts hold a significant edge across the key performance metrics.
