Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Qarabag will be aiming to defend their two-goal lead in the tie with Ferencvaros when they the two teams face each other at Tofiq Bahramov Stadium on Wednesday. Qarabag proved their worth in the first leg, with the team beating Ferencvaros 3-1 in Budapest, but boss Gurban Gurbanov now must warn his men against complacency. Both Montiel and Ramazanov miss out with injuries for the home team.
The Hungarian champions, on the other hand, face an uphill task in the second leg as they need a big win to progress to the Champions League group stages. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as Ferencvaros have no other option but to go all guns blazing at Qarabag. Krisztian Lisztes is injured for the visiting team, while fellow midfielder Bence Otvos will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
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.
