Match preview
Qarabag enter round four of the Premyer Liqa campaign with a perfect start to their domestic season, having claimed victories in both of their opening two league matches. With four goals scored and just one conceded, the hosts sit third in the table with games in hand, showing their usual dominance on the domestic front.
Araz, on the other hand, have endured a difficult start to their league campaign. Sitting in eleventh position with just one point from three matches, they are yet to score a single goal this season, having drawn once and lost twice while conceding six goals, including a 5-0 defeat in their only away fixture so far.
Historical meetings between these two sides heavily favour the hosts. Qarabag have won all five previous encounters hosted at their ground against Araz, including emphatic scorelines of 6-0 and 5-1 in recent meetings. Given the gulf in early-season form and offensive output, Qarabag hold a substantial advantage heading into this contest.
