The second matchday of the first round of the Misli Premier League will conclude in Masazir. According to Sport24.az, the current champion "Sabah" will host "Kapaz" at their home stadium.
Initially, this match was supposed to take place in Gäncä. However, due to "Sabah"'s participation in the Champions League playoffs next week, the venue was changed with the agreement of both teams.
Without a doubt, "Sabah" is the favorite in this match. Valdas Dambrauskas' team demonstrated their capabilities in the Champions League qualifying rounds. Having won 5 out of 6 matches, they eliminated the champions of 3 different countries. Therefore, it's unlikely that "Sabah" will start the 35th national championship with anything but a victory. Considering "Kapaz"'s current situation, hardly anyone expects them to spring a surprise today.
Note that the other matches of the round will take place tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
