FK Sumqayit has a 30% chance of winning, the draw is at 28%, and Shamakhi FK has a 42% chance. This calculation starts from the inverse of the most balanced bookmaker odds (2.70 home, 2.90 draw, 2.50 away), normalized to remove the margin. Adjustments were then made: Shamakhi FK's probability was increased due to their superior league position, strong away form, and recent head-to-head advantage. FK Sumqayit's poor form and last-place standing significantly reduce their chances.
Bookmakers offer varying odds for this match. One bookmaker lists a home win at 2.62, a draw at 1.91, and an away win at 3.30. Another provides 2.55 for a home win, 1.95 for a draw, and 3.20 for an away win. A third set shows 2.70, 2.90, and 2.50 respectively. Based on the stats, Shamakhi FK is the more likely winner, but the match could be tight. A draw is a realistic outcome given the head-to-head history.
