As the Champions League qualifying rounds intensify, Qarabag FK will face Ludogorets Razgrad in a highly anticipated clash.

This match promises to be a thrilling encounter as both teams aim to secure a place in the prestigious Champions League group stage.

Current Form

Qarabag

Qarabag FK enters this fixture with a dominant domestic record, having secured their 10th Azerbaijani Premier League title in 11 years.

They commenced their Champions League journey at the second qualifying round, easily dispatching Gibraltar's Lincoln Red Imps with an aggregate score of 7-0.

Their recent form in all competitions is impressive, with three wins and one loss, showcasing their attacking prowess and solid defence.

Ludogorets

Ludogorets Razgrad, the reigning Bulgarian champions, have already battled through two rounds of Champions League qualifiers.

They triumphed over Dinamo Batumi and narrowly edged past Dinamo Minsk.

Domestically, they started strong with victories over CSKA Sofia and Arda, but their European away form is concerning, having lost their last six away fixtures in the Champions League preliminaries.

Team News

Qarabag FK boasts a wealth of European experience under coach Gurban Gurbanov.

Key players include Brazilian forward Juninho, who has already netted four goals in the qualifiers, and French winger Abdellah Zoubir. Montenegro internationals Marko Vesovic and Marko Jankovic are also expected to play crucial roles.

Ludogorets Razgrad will rely on Ghanaian forward Bernard Tekpetey, who has scored twice in the qualifiers, and Todor Nedelev, a consistent threat in European competitions.

Swiss striker Kwadwo Duah, fresh off a goal at Euro 2024, is a potential starter alongside Rwan Seco. Defensively, Portuguese defender Dinis Almeida and captain Anton Nedyalkov are vital for maintaining solidity at the back.

Prediction

Given Qarabag's strong home form and Ludogorets' struggles on the road in Europe, Qarabag is favoured to win this matchup.

The home advantage, coupled with their recent impressive performances, suggests a 2-1 victory for Qarabag FK.
