Today the champion of the 2023/24 season in the Azerbaijan Premier League can be determined.
According to İdman.biz, the winners of gold medals can be determined by the Kapaz – Karabakh match.
It will be enough if the guests do not lose in the match of the XXVIII round, which will take place on the first day of the IV round. At the moment, Gurban Gurbanov’s team has 66 points and will be out of reach for other teams if it scores three or one point in the game with Kapaz.
Qarabag, which had previously won the championship title 10 times, took gold medals in 1993, 2013/2014, 2014/2015, 2015/2016, 2016/2017, 2017/2018, 2018/2019, 2019/2020, 2021/2022 and 2022/2023. The club, which is one step away from becoming the strongest for the 3rd time in a row and for the 11th time overall, has won this victory 10 times in the last 11 years. That is, Gurbanov will win his 10th championship as a head coach.
“Kapaz” needs to win a home match in Baku in order to delay this success, which can be achieved 8 rounds before the end. Even if Qarabag loses today, it can win the championship tomorrow.
To do this, Neftchi must lose points today in Gabala, and tomorrow’s Baku derby between Sabah and Zira must end in a draw. The outcome of these two matches will lead the Aghdam club to the championship even with a defeat in today’s match.
But if Qarabag loses, and one of the three teams that have a theoretical chance to beat them – Neftchi, Zira and Sabah – wins, then the official registration of the championship will be postponed until the next round.
In fact, Kapaz’s victory over Karabakh is considered a miracle. After April 4, 2002, the Ganja club was unable to defeat its opponent. It is unlikely that the Ganja team, who failed to do this throughout 31 games, will stop a strong opponent who has achieved historical success in Europe. For a team that lost 1:7 about 5 months ago, it is almost impossible to postpone the championship by taking revenge.
It should be noted that the match between Kapaz and Karabakh will start at 19:00.
