Preview: Turan Visits İmişli FK in Azerbaijan Premyer Liqa Clash

BAKU, Azerbaijan (Interstat) — Turan will look to build on a dramatic victory and extend its recent dominance over İmişli FK when the sides meet in an Azerbaijan Premyer Liqa match Tuesday.

The game is scheduled for April 7, 2026, with İmişli FK as the host.

Turan (4-5-5) enters with momentum from a wild 3-2 road win over Qəbələ on March 21, a match that snapped a two-game losing streak. Prior to that, Turan had fallen 1-0 to Kəpəz PFK and recorded a 1-0 victory at Neftçi PFK. The club’s form has been inconsistent, mixing impressive results like a 5-0 rout of Dinamo Bakı with scoreless draws and narrow defeats.

İmişli FK (1-6-7) is reeling, having been outscored 11-0 in its last two outings. It suffered a 6-0 defeat at Neftçi PFK on March 20, preceded by a 5-0 home loss to Sabah FK. Its last positive result was a 0-0 draw at Şamaxı FK on March 8. The club sits near the bottom of the league table, having scored just one goal in its last five matches.

The head-to-head history favors the visitors. In the most recent meeting on Aug. 16, 2025, Turan secured a 1-0 victory at İmişli FK.

According to the Interstat game simulator, the trend is projected to continue with a 2-1 win for Turan.

Following this match, Turan will host Genclerbirliyi Sumqayıt on April 12. İmişli FK faces a difficult road test at Qəbələ on the same date.

Key Matchup: Turan’s attack, which has shown flashes of high scoring, against an İmişli FK defense that has been porous recently. İmişli FK will need to stabilize at the back to have a chance at halting its skid.

Player to Watch: Turan’s forwards will be confident against a leaky defense, but the home side’s resilience will be tested early. A quick concession could lead to another long afternoon for İmişli FK supporters.

The match kicks off Tuesday evening local time.
