This Azerbaijani league clash brings together two teams trying to find consistency early in the season.

Team Form

PFK Simurq Zaqatala enters this match with a mixed recent record: one draw, one win, and three losses across their last five outings. Their latest fixture ended in a 2-2 draw away to Energetik Mingechevir. Prior to that, a 2-1 home victory over Safa Baku was followed by three consecutive defeats — a 3-0 loss at Baku Sporting, a 0-3 home defeat to Sabail FC, and a heavy 7-1 thrashing at Energetik Mingechevir. Those last two home results (losses) are especially concerning.

Baku Sporting’s last five matches show a loss, a draw, two wins, and a draw. They started this sequence with a 1-1 draw against Difai Agsu, then beat Cabrayil FC 3-2 away, followed by a convincing 3-0 home win over this same Simurq side. Their most recent two results are a 1-1 away stalemate with Sahdag and a 0-3 home loss against Karvan. The loss in their latest match is a setback, but prior form displayed more attacking threat than the hosts.

Head-to-Head Record

The H2H record between these sides is dead even: two wins for PFK Simurq Zaqatala, two draws, and two wins for Baku Sporting. The most recent meeting was a dominant 3-0 home win for Baku Sporting on May 15, 2026. Before that, Baku Sporting also won 2-1 at home in December 2025. Two earlier clashes saw a 1-1 draw in October 2025 and a remarkable 6-1 home win for Simurq in April 2025. The very first recorded meeting ended 0-0 in February 2025. Momentum in recent H2H clearly favors Baku Sporting, who have won the last two encounters without conceding a goal in the latest one.

League Table Positions

The new 1 Division season is just one match old, so the table picture is still forming. PFK Simurq Zaqatala sits 4th overall with 1 point from a 2-2 away draw, level on goal difference with Energetik Mingechevir. Baku Sporting is 10th with 0 points after an opening 0-3 home loss to Karvan. In the away standings (where Simurq played their only game), Simurq ranks 4th with 1 point; Baku Sporting ranks 6th having played their sole match at home. While Simurq holds a slender points edge, the sample size is too small to make firm conclusions about seasonal strength.

Win Probability: PFK Simurq Zaqatala or Baku Sporting?

Our calculated outcome probabilities are: PFK Simurq Zaqatala win – 42%, draw – 33%, Baku Sporting win – 25%. We derived these figures by first extracting the best available odds (home 2.40, draw 2.10, away 3.25), calculating their implied probabilities (41.7%, 47.6%, 30.8%), and then normalizing to remove the bookmaker margin. The raw odds gave a draw-heavy distribution, so we adjusted down the draw probability based on head-to-head dynamics (two straight Baku Sporting wins, no draws in last two) and the hosts’ poor recent home form (back-to-back losses, conceding 10 goals). Baku Sporting’s away form is slightly better, but their latest heavy defeat and zero points in the table lowered their chance. Home advantage keeps Simurq as the marginal favorite, yet the safest conclusion is that this match remains quite open.

Odds & Match Prediction

Bookmakers list the following odds: home win at 2.40, draw at 2.10, away win at 3.25. The tight pricing on the draw reflects the balanced H2H history and both teams’ inconsistency. Based on the stats and probability model, PFK Simurq Zaqatala has a slightly higher chance of winning, but the draw stands as a very realistic outcome. A low-scoring, cautious match seems likely, especially given Baku Sporting’s defensive success in the latest H2H meeting and Simurq’s recent scoring struggles at home. The final prediction leans towards a narrow home win or a draw, with under 2.5 total goals looking plausible.
