The 31st round of the Misli Premier League will conclude in the capital. Sport24.az reports that "Neftchi" will face "Shamakhi" at their home ground.

This meeting is formal for the guests. Even if Aykhan Abbasov's team wins the game, they will not change their position in the standings. The "Lions", with 35 points before this game, are in 8th place and 5 points behind "Araz-Nakhchivan". However, this meeting is of great importance for the home side. If the "black and whites", who want to qualify for the European Cups, win their 14th victory of the season, they will move 3 points away from "Zira" and further strengthen their position in 4th place.
