Turan vs Sabah FK
BAKU, Azerbaijan (Interstat) — Sabah FK takes a 10-match unbeaten streak into Friday’s Premyer Liqa clash at Turan, with the league’s top offense hoping to extend its dominance in a 2-0 projected win.
Sabah (9-0-2 in its last 11, counting draws as ties) has not lost since mid-February. The run includes a 7-1 demolition of Qəbələ on March 10 and a 5-0 shutout of İmişli FK four days later. Most recently, Sabah blanked Karvan 2-0 on April 27. The team has outscored opponents 32-7 over that 11-game span.
Turan enters Friday’s match on mixed form, having gone 5-3-3 in its last 11. The home side dropped a 3-2 decision at Şamaxı FK on May 16, its second loss in five outings. Turan did rebound with a 1-0 win over Karvan on May 10, but inconsistency has plagued the squad: Turan has alternated wins and losses or draws in its past six matches.
The matchup is organized by the Premyer Liqa, Azerbaijan’s top football division. Friday’s game is scheduled for May 22, 2026, with kickoff time to be announced.
Sabah’s recent efficiency in front of goal has been a hallmark. The team has scored at least two goals in eight of its last 10 games. Turan, meanwhile, has struggled to string together scoring chances, managing multiple goals only twice in its last six matches.
Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-0 final score in favor of Sabah, reflecting the visitors’ superior form and defensive solidity. Sabah has kept clean sheets in seven of its last 11 outings.
Turan will need to tighten its back line after conceding three goals in the loss to Şamaxı. The home side’s attack has been sporadic: outside of the 3-0 win over Araz-Naxçıvan on April 17, Turan has scored more than one goal just once in its last eight matches.
The two teams met earlier this season? Not listed, but this preview focuses on current form. Turan will look to disrupt Sabah’s rhythm and avoid falling behind early, while Sabah aims to continue its push for the top of the table.
