SHERIFF NEWS

Sheriff's domestic league already started, which can be a significant advantage in compared to Qarabag, which season hasn't begun yet. However, Sheriff played poorly in their first four games. They won eight points, and they are currently second in the table, behind Milsami, which has a one point lead at the moment. Sheriff achieved a solid result in the first match - every victory will lead them to the next phase, but a goalless draw in the first game also means that if Qarabag score, a draw in the second game will be enough for them to cruise into the next qualifying phase.
