BAKU, Azerbaijan (Interstat) — Araz-Naxçıvan PFK hosts a surging Turan side in a Premyer Liqa match on Saturday with both teams looking to build on positive recent form.

Turan (4-0-1) enters the contest on a four-match winning streak, having outscored opponents 10-1 during that run. Their most recent result was a 0-0 draw with Zirə FK on Nov. 8. Prior to that, they secured victories over Şamaxı FK, Dinamo Bakı, Karvan, and İmişli FK.

Araz-Naxçıvan (3-2-2) is coming off a 2-1 victory over Karvan on Nov. 8. Their form has been inconsistent, with a 3-2 loss to Genclerbirliyi Sumqayıt on Nov. 2 preceding draws with Sabah FK and Neftçi PFK.

Statistical projections for the match are conflicting. The Interstat game simulator predicts a 2-1 victory for the home side, Araz-Naxçıvan. However, the same service’s ELO rating system gives Turan a 56.40 percent probability of winning outright.

Following this league fixture, Turan’s next scheduled match is on the road against Sahda’g’ in the AZE Cup on Tuesday, Dec. 2.
