Prediction: 1-0
Vorskla Poltava
After suffering back-to-back losses to the likes of Sporting Lisbon and Arsenal, Qarabag will be aiming to give fans some cheer when they host Vorskla at their Tofiq Behramov adina Respublika stadionu on Thursday evening. Qarabag have yet to find the net in the Europa League this season, but they will not have a better chance than this to do so. Vorskla have been struggling at the back in Group E, with the team conceding six goals in defeats to Arsenal and Sporting and that is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the Azeri. This has to go down as a must-win game for the hosts, who are likely to prove their worth on the field. A man to watch in the home team will be Switzerland attacker Emeghara, who has been scoring goals for fun in the national championship this term.
