Tomorrow, the XXXV round of the Misli Premier League will start.
Idman.biz reports that the matches to be held in two days can turn the last round into a complete formality.
It is possible to clarify the final ranking of the teams in the tournament table in advance. But for this, appropriate results must be recorded in all 5 matches to be held this weekend.
Although this is not so realistic, it is not impossible. If this happens, the XXXVI round will not be needed by anyone or anything.
Turan Tovuz, who will be a guest of the team of the same name in Sumgayit, will secure the 4th place with a draw. This one point will give Araz-Nakhchivan a bronze medal and cross out Sabah's hope for 4th place. Because the 3rd place will become inaccessible for the westerners with 50 points, and they will move away from the Baku club.
The result of the capital derby against Zira is also important for Sabah to formalize its 5th place. If the guests win, their position will also be clarified with a draw of Turan Tovuz.
This will ruin Neftchi's dream of 5th place, which will face Sabail, and the white-blacks will formalize 6th place. In this case, Shamakhi will privatize the 7th place with a home victory over Araz-Nakhchivan.
The most difficult thing is for Kapaz to formalize the 8th place. The Ganja club must defeat Qarabag, which it has not been able to beat for many years.
In short, if a draw is recorded in Sumgayit, and Sabah, Neftchi, Shamakhi and Kapaz win, the final ranking in the tournament table will be clarified. Then the XXXVI round will have no importance in terms of place.
It does not seem so convincing that Qarabag, Zira and Araz-Nakhchivan, which are currently in the top three, will lose in the same round. If this possible probability is confirmed, the points in the tournament table should be in this situation:
"Qarabag" - 83
"Zira" – 70
"Araz-Nakhchivan" – 55
"Turan Tovuz" – 50
"Sabah" – 47
"Neftchi" – 43
"Shamakhi" – 39
"Kapaz" – 35
"Sumgayit" – 31
"Sabail" - 22
