Match preview

Şamaxı FK welcome Araz for round six of the Premyer Liqa season, looking to build on a solid run of form. The hosts currently sit seventh in the standings with six points from five matches, having recorded one win, three draws, and one defeat while conceding just five goals.

Araz find themselves in eleventh place with two points, still seeking their first league victory after two draws and three losses. Their away form has been particularly testing, having suffered defeats against Neftchi Baku and Qarabag while conceding eight goals across those two trips.

Across seven recorded head-to-head fixtures, Araz have never lost to Şamaxı FK, winning five and drawing two, with every single encounter producing under 2.5 total goals.
