Azerbaijan Premier League Tips

About Azerbaijan Premier League

The first Azerbaijan Football Championship was held immediately after the collapse of the USSR in 1992. At that time, it was a very weak tournament, the clubs of which could not even overcome the first qualifying rounds of the UCL and the UEFA Cup.

With the arrival of big money in the Azerbaijani Premier League, the clubs began to strengthen with strong Latin American players, which also affected their performance in the European Cups. While the teams are not yet able to get into the group stage of the Champions League, but in the group stage of the Europa League for 4 seasons in a row there has been at least one representative from Azerbaijan.

The Premier League attendance is growing every year, although it is still at an extremely low level. About 3,000 people per game is a weak indicator, but, for example, the average attendance of Khazar and Kapaz is close to 10,000 spectators per game. The Premier League has a very low scoring rate. It is so low that sometimes bookmakers give a total of 1.5 by default, and not a total of 2.5.

The Azerbaijan Premier League is held on an autumn-spring system. The champion of Azerbaijan is selected for the qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, and the other two medalists for the qualifying rounds of the UEFA Conference League. The last team in the Premier League leaves the tournament, and the best team of the First Division comes in.
