The second round of the Misli Premier League will conclude in Surakhani. Sport24.az reports that "Qarabağ", whose match was postponed in the first week of the championship, is playing its first match in the 2025/26 "football year".
The European conqueror hosts "Sumgayit" within "native walls". While this is the first championship game for the "Stallions", the "chemists" were remembered for defeating "Kapaz" with a big score (3:0) in their home stadium last week. Although "Qarabağ" is the favorite of the match on paper, it is worth expecting a surprise from the team coached by Sasha Ilic. Considering that Aghdam residents played a match in the play-off stage of the Champions League only 3 days ago and returned from the away game, there may not be a better opportunity for "Sumgayit" to get points from "Qarabağ".
It should be noted that the tour will end with the match "Gabala" - "Zira", which will be held on Monday.
