Pre-match preview

Sabah

Sabah could recall several first-team regulars who were unused substitutes against Zira last time out. Stas Pokatilov, who had started three of the previous four matches, is pencilled in to return in goal, with Steve Solvet and Aleksey Isaev also in line to come back into the side after spending that game on the bench.

On the right of the front line, Christian Nwachukwu is preferred to Kaheem Parris this week, with both having started twice this season. The only injury absence to note is Xayal Əliyev, ruled out with a tendon problem.
