Azerbaijan Cup, Quarterfinal
Gabala - Garabagh
Date: 27 February 2013 / Venue: Gabala City Stadium / Kick-off: 15:00 (Idman Azerbaijan, Live)
Wednesday, Gabala are facing Garabagh in the quarterfinal of the Azerbaijan Cup. Our opponents from Aghdam are that team just like in the last season we met at this stage. Although Gabala were unbeaten in both match-ups 2:2 and 0:0, Garabagh went to be the better team just for their goals in away.
The fixture is the total 5th match, as well as 3rd on the trot at this stage of the competition, which we could overstep only two times. Gabala have been able to reach to semifinal cup matches right with the early two legs before being trapped by further 2 quarterfinal games. Now Gabala need to break this 2-game winless streak to put an end also to their drawing run of 4 home events, which are their all cup quarterfinal experiences in Gabala. So winning over Garabagh seems to be the closest cup target of Ramiz Mammadov”s squad.
Adding to their only two cup ties, there were 18 more premier league games between Gabala and Garabagh. Our opponents lap up the plaudits for their lead one win more than our 5. The sides share 9 draws where the goal possession from 23:20 is also on the Garabagh side.
But it is Gabala holding on against Garabagh in the last 8 forums with three victories and 5 draws. The opponents took their last victory over Gabala on 13th February 2011.
