Prediction: 2-0
HJK
Qarabag will look to bounce back from a shocking 1-0 loss to Zira when they take on HJK in the Europa League semi-finals qualifying round, first leg. Qarabag are seen as hot favourites to win the first leg, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Albania forward Redon Xhixha, who was scoring goals for fun in the Champions League qualifiers.
The Finns, on the other hand, failed to upset Molde in the Champions League second qualifying round and given their difficulties on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team, but Serbia attacker Bojan Radulovic is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming off the bench in the last league match.
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.
