Today, the XXXII round of the Misli Premier League will come to a close.
Idman.biz reports that in the final match of the round, Sumgayit will host Neftchi.
The match, which will take place at the Mehdi Huseynzada Stadium in Sumgayit, could mark the end of the Baku club's European dream. Although Black ad Whites’s chances for the Conference League are already close to zero, Samir Abasov and his team still hold onto the slim hope of a miracle.
The only way for the capital club to qualify for Europe is to finish 4th in the league, with the Cup being won by Qarabag. However, for this to happen, Neftchi needs 5 victories in the last 5 matches and for their rivals to suffer consecutive losses.
Abasov’s team will lose their chance for 4th place with any points dropped. Currently, Black ad Whites have 35 points, trailing Turan Tovuz by 14 points.
Losing points today in Sumgayit will officially bury Neftchi’s European dream. To at least keep their hopes alive for another round, the Baku team must overcome today’s “barrier.”
The match between Sumgayit and Neftchi will start at 20:00.
