Prediction: 3-0
Lincoln Red Imps
Qarabag and Lincoln Red Imps face each other at Baku Olympic Stadium in a David-vs-Goliath clash. Qarabag came from behind to win the first leg, with substitute Yassine Benzia scoring a late winner as a substitute. The Algeria international is widely expected to return to the starting XI, with French forward Hamidou Keyta pushing for a start as well. Gurban Gurbanov is likely to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation, with Redon Xhixha up front as a lone forward.
The Gibraltar outfit, on the other hand, will have a mountain to climb in Wednesday’s clash. Considering that Qarabag are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we do not believe that Javi Munoz’s men are capable of making a miracle in Azerbaijan. There are no fresh injury worries in the away side ahead of the return leg.
Highlighted Team (Qarabag):
Over the years Qarabag have established themselves as one of the best teams in Azerbaijan. The club was founded in 1951 and they were playing under the name of Mehsul back then. Qarabag won their first trophy in the national championship in 1993, beating Khazar Sumgayit in the title game.
In the 2015/2016 season they won their fourth domestic trophy, with the team finishing the season 22 points clear of second-placed Zira. Qarabag participated in the 2016/2017 Champions League qualifiers, but they were more than unfortunate to suffer a loss to Viktoria Plzen in the two-legged tie. The Azerbaijan outfit were beaten by the Czechs on away goal rule and, as a result, they made it to the Europa League playoffs.
Thanks to a win over Goteborg in the double-header Qarabag made it to the knockout stages of the competition. The Horsemen play their home games at Azersun Arena and their home colours are black. Qarabag play their away games in white kits.
