The first match day of the 18th round of the Misli Premier League will conclude in Gabala. Sport24.az reports that the team of the same name from the region is hosting "Imishli".
Since the home side is in the relegation zone, the importance of this match is very high for them. Because of the penalty, Kakhaber Tskhadadze's team, who will not be in the technical zone in this match, wants to separate with 3 points from the match with the debutant of the elite and celebrate the second consecutive victory in 2026. No one doubts that the guests, who made "peace" with "Araz-Nakhchivan" in the previous round, will also take the field to win. We will know who will win the match at the end of 90 minutes.
It should be noted that the other matches of the round will be held tomorrow and Sunday.
