The determination of the champion of the Misli Premier League has been postponed.
Idman.biz reports that the XXXI round was not enough to determine the owner of the gold medal.
"Qarabag" defeated "Neftchi" 3:0 at home and increased its score to 76. But "Zira", which hosted "Sumgayit", also passed the round without any losses. The settlement club maintained the 15-point difference with a 3:1 victory.
This means that the champion may be officially determined in the next round. The 15-point difference with 5 rounds remaining means that one stumble, one undefeated match is enough.
But the championship may be postponed again. It will depend on the meetings to be held this weekend.
On April 26, "Zira" will be a guest of "Kapaz" in Tovuz. If the Baku club stumbles, "Qarabag" will secure the gold medals without even playing. However, it is not so realistic for Rashad Sadigov's players to give points to one of the outsiders.
If "Zira" loses points, Gurban Gurbanov's team, which will visit "Sabah" a day later, will enter the field with the status of champion. If the settlement representative wins, "Qarabag" will have to score points. If the Aghdam representative does not lose to "Sabah", they will receive the gold medals.
If "Zira" does not lose points and then Vasili Berezutsky's players, who are having an unsuccessful season, show their teeth to the leader, the championship will be postponed to the XXXIII round. In that round, "Zira" will host "Turan Tovuz" and "Qarabag" will host "Sumgayit".
It should be noted that "Qarabag", the 11-time national champion, is the most titled team in the competition.
