Prediction: 2-2
Rakow
Qarabag will be aiming to overcome a one-goal deficit in the tie with Rakow when the two sides face each other at Azersun Arena on Wednesday. The first leg proved to be a thrilling encounter, with Rakow demontrating their attacking potential to secure a slim advantage (3-2). The Azeri aim to draw inspiration from their loyal fans, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. The opposition back-line should have Redon Xhixha at bay as the Albania forward scored a brace in the first leg.
Rakow, on the other hand, will arrive with confidence after the first-leg victory and will look to continue their strong form. Midfielder Sonny Kittel is pushing for a rare start after scoring a late winner in the first leg. Both teams have demonstrated their ability to find the back of the net, so an entertaining and high-scoring affair is expected. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score.
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.
