Match preview
Qabala host Imisli FK in round 4 of the Premyer Liqa looking to register their first league victory and first goal of the campaign. The hosts sit 10th in the table with one point from three matches, having drawn 0-0 against Samaxi FK after consecutive 1-0 defeats against Safa Baku and Turan.
Imisli FK travel for their fourth straight away fixture to start the season, currently occupying 6th position with four points. After a 0-0 draw at Araz and a 3-1 defeat at Zira, they secured a 1-0 win away at Safa Baku in their previous outing.
Given Qabala's ongoing scoring drought and Imisli FK's solid defensive returns on the road, this encounter shapes up as a low-scoring, closely contested match.
