QƏBƏLƏ, Azerbaijan (Interstat) — Qəbələ hosts Şəfa FK on Thursday in a domestic Cup match, looking to build on a rare recent victory.

The game kicks off Dec. 4 at Qəbələ’s stadium. It comes after Qəbələ ended a four-match losing streak in all competitions with a 2-1 home win over Araz-Naxçıvan PFK on Nov. 30. Their form has been inconsistent, with just two wins in their last ten outings.

Şəfa FK enters following a convincing 3-0 road victory against Cəbrayil FK on Oct. 28. Their recent away success could provide a psychological edge.

The matchup is a single-elimination contest in the Azerbaijan Cup. According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projected final score is Şəfa FK 2, Qəbələ 0.

Following this cup tie, Qəbələ’s next scheduled match is a league encounter against Qarabağ Ağdam FK on Dec. 21.
