Sabah Baku will be looking to overturn a one-goal deficit when they host Aarhus in the second leg of their European qualifier. Despite suffering a 2-1 defeat in Denmark, the Azerbaijani champions were arguably the better side for long spells, registering 15 goal attempts and generating 1.06 expected goals compared to Aarhus' 0.58 xG. With no fresh injury concerns, Sabah have the luxury of selecting their strongest lineup, while Gabonese striker Orphé Mbina is pushing for a place in the starting XI after being used from the bench in the first leg. The hosts have been impressive at home of late, winning three of their last four matches while conceding just 0.8 goals per game on average.
Aarhus, meanwhile, travel to Baku with a narrow advantage but know there is still plenty of work to do. The Danish side made the most of their limited chances in the first leg, showing clinical finishing when it mattered most. However, defender Frederik Tingager picked up a knock and is a major doubt for the return fixture, which could weaken the visitors at the back. Aarhus have enjoyed a strong run of form, losing only one of their last ten matches, but they are likely to come under heavy pressure from the first whistle.
As Sabah created enough chances in the first leg to deserve a better result, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (An open game is expected with the hosts chasing the tie from the outset).
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday 11 August 2026 at 17:00.
