To qualify for the semifinals, the Whites must defeat a well-defended opponent in a duel on February 7. However, there is another side to the issue that this fact should increase the responsibility of Rashad Sadigov and his children.

According to Offsideplus.az, it is common for Neftchi not to win in the cup matches between the "native walls". The country's most established team has lost most of its matches at Bakcell Arena for several years. Nevertheless, they are able to make up for the loss in the return match. Even if they do not pass the stage, they do not lose on the road.

So, let's take a look at the cup performance of Baku since 2014, when it last won the national cup.
