The first match day of the 29th round of the Misli Premier League will conclude in Gabala. Sport24.az reports that the local representative of the region is hosting "Araz-Nakhchivan" in their "home arena".
The guests, who aimed to qualify for European cups at the beginning of the season, did not achieve their goal. However, the Nakhchivan team does not fear relegation from the elite division. Therefore, this game is not so important for the "red and whites." The guests will only take the field to protect their image. "Gabala", on the other hand, is in a dangerous zone and the next loss of points could have serious consequences for the home side. Therefore, today's match is a "do or die" matter for Kakhaber Tskhadadze's team.
It should be noted that the other matches of the round will be held tomorrow and on Monday.
