Neftci Baku will be looking to complete the work and reach the next Champions League qualifying stage when they take on Dinamo Tbilisi in the return leg of their last-16 qualifying tie at the Bakcell Arena.
Despite enduring mixed fortunes across their three warm-up fixtures ahead of the first leg (W1, D1, L1), Neftci ran out 2-1 victors to put one foot in the preliminary quarter-finals. The hosts head into proceedings unbeaten in eight consecutive competitive matches (W6, D2), winning the last five in a row by an aggregate scoreline of 11-1. None of Neftci’s eight home games since the calendar flipped to 2021 have ended in a draw (W6, L2), with six of those results (win/loss) seeing the winner on the day keep a clean sheet. If the ‘Oil Workers’ win here, it could be in ecstatic fashion, considering three of their last four competitive home triumphs have produced a winning margin of 2+ goals, with two of them yielding the identical 4-0 scoreline.
In the meantime, the visitors have blown hot and cold lately, registering partial success across their previous six competitive fixtures (W3, L3) and losing the last two in a row by the same 2-1 scoreline. Despite their form wobble, the ‘Blue-White’ have managed to keep their contest tight and down to the wire. Indeed, five of their last seven games in all competitions saw the sides separated at full-time by under 1.5 goals. Stalemate is seemingly off the table, given that none of Tbilisi’s 11 competitive road trips this calendar year have ended as a draw (W7, L4), with each of their last seven away matches won/lost seeing the victor record a shutout.
