Team Form

Simal’s last five results show inconsistency – two wins, two defeats and a draw (D, L, W, W, L). Their most recent outing was a 1-1 draw at MOIK Baku on Sep 11. At home they lost 1-2 to Cabrayil FC and beat Qaradag Lokbatan 2-1 in May, but went down 0-1 to Difai Agsu. Sahdag, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their last five matches with three wins and two draws (W, W, D, D, W). They beat Karvan 2-0 at home on Sep 09 and won 1-0 at MOIK Baku, keeping back-to-back clean sheets. That defensive solidity will be a huge factor here.

Head-to-Head Record

The head-to-head record is overwhelmingly in Sahdag’s favour. In four previous meetings, Sahdag have won three, Simal none, and one match ended drawn. The most recent encounter on Apr 03, 2026, ended 1-0 to Sahdag. Earlier this year on Feb 19, Sahdag won 1-0 at Simal. The only draw came in a Cup match in October 2025. Simal have never beaten Sahdag, failing to score in three of those four games.

League Table Positions

Sahdag sit top of the 1 Division with a perfect six points from two matches (2 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses). They have scored three goals and conceded none. Simal are seventh with just one point (0 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss), scoring two and conceding three. The gap in points and goal difference underlines the gulf in class so far this season.

Win Probability: Simal or Sahdag?

We assign a 60% chance to a Sahdag win, 25% to the draw, and 15% to a Simal victory. The raw bookmaker odds implied probabilities of 20.2% (home), 38.1% (draw) and 41.7% (away) after removing the margin. However, several factors force an upward revision of Sahdag’s chances. The head-to-head record shows Sahdag won 75% of all meetings; their form is unblemished in the last five; and they are top of the table while Simal languish in the bottom half. Even with home advantage, Simal have lost as many home games as they have won recently. All indicators point strongly to Sahdag.

Odds & Match Prediction

The best available odds are 4.33 for a Simal home win, 2.30 for the draw, and 2.10 for a Sahdag away win. Bookmakers clearly see Sahdag as the favourite. Our match prediction: Sahdag to win. Based on the stats – impeccable defensive record, dominant head-to-head, and a lethal run of form – the visitors should extend their perfect start to the season.
