Shamakhi FK VS Qarabag

The cup match will be played on February 5, 2026 at 18:30 and will be played at home by Shamaki against Karabakh.

Shamaki has been in ups and downs recently, with mediocre performances in the lower leagues and a lack of consistency at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. As the perennial hegemon of Azerbaijan's top league, Karabakh has recently performed strongly on all fronts, with significantly higher competitive form and overall strength.

The historical head-to-head records of the two teams are one-sided. Karabakh has an absolute advantage against Shamaki and has won easily in many past meetings, and often has won by big scores, with a huge psychological advantage.

given by the odds are 8.25 for Shamaki to win, 4.80 for a draw and 1.29 for Karabakh. The away win odds are as low as 1.29, reflecting that the institutions are extremely optimistic about Karabakh's victory, believing that the probability of winning is extremely high, while the odds of home win and draw are at a high level, and the possibility of playing is greatly underestimated.

Based on the strength gap between the two sides, recent form, historical head-to-head records and extremely disparity in odds data, Karabakh's away win in this game is a high probability event. Shamaki will struggle to pose a substantial threat to a strong opponent, predicting that Karabakh will win the game smoothly.
