The second game day of the 18th round of the Misli Premier League will conclude in Zira. Sport24.az reports that the town's namesake team is hosting "Sabah" within its "home walls."
Interest in the central match of the round is quite high. The guests intend to win this round as well and strengthen their position at the top. It is beyond doubt that the home team, currently with 29 points and in 5th place in the standings, will also be fighting for 3 points in order not to fall behind the leading group. If Rashad Sadygov's team loses today, it could be a severe blow to the "eagles" in the fight for a ticket to the European Cups.
It should be noted that two more matches of the reporting week - "Qarabağ" - "Turan Tovuz" and "Araz-Nakhchivan" - Neftchi" - will take place tomorrow.
