The names of two more participants of the Misli Premier League may be known this week.
Idman.biz reports that two tickets to the elite of the Azerbaijani championship are close to finding their owners in the XXII round of the I League.
"Imishli" and "Karvan" are already knocking on the door of the Premier League. The regional representatives, who are in the top three, may decide the task of the higher league in the upcoming match, following the leader of the I League, "Gabala".
Currently, Imishli's club of the same name is second with 41 points, and Yevlakh's representative, who is one point behind, is in third place. "Zagatala" in 4th place has only 28 points. Moreover, the latter are also far behind in the number of victories. There are only 5 rounds left to the finish.
The next round will start on April 24. "Imishli" and "Karvan" will appear on the field the next day.
The fate of one of the Premier League tickets may be decided in Zagatala. The city's team of the same name will host "Imishli" at home. If the guests do not lose in this game, they will be promoted to the Premier League.
If "Imishli" is close to getting the expected ticket away, "Karvan" has the opportunity to give a holiday to its home fans. The team, which will host "Jabrayil" in Yevlakh, needs a victory for this. If "Karvan" finishes the tour with 3 points, they will play in the Premier League in the 2025/26 season.
1 point may be enough for Yevlakh residents. But for this, both "Zagatala" and MOIK with "Baku Sporting" must lose points. If Zagatala's representative loses, and Baku clubs do not win, "Karvan" will be promoted to the elite even with a defeat.
It should be noted that in the upcoming round, MOIK will be the guest of "Gabala", and "Baku Sporting" will be the guest of "Mingachevir".
