Qarabag take on the visitors FC Copenhagen at “Tofig Bahramov Stadium” in the first-leg match of the Qualification final round of the UEFA Champions League. The game will be played in Baku on Tuesday, August 15th.
Qarabag have conducted already five clashes in this season resulting in four victories and one loss. In the Eurocups the Azerbaijani club has knocked out Samtredia 5:0, 1:0 and Sheriff Tiraspol 0:0, 2:1. Besides, the side broke Neftci Baku with 3:1 scoreline in the opening matchday of the Azerbaijan's Premier League. Taking last season into consideration, Qarabag have not been beaten across eight encounters in a row in face of their supporters, having got five wins and three draws in them.

In their turn, FC Copenhagen have played already nine games in this season, however, the Danish side clearly feels lack of self-confidence comparing to the previous season as it managed to gain only three triumphs alongside with three draws and three losses. In the UEFA Champions League the Danes knocked out Zilina 3:1, 1:2 and Vardar 0:1, 4:1. In regard to the Danish Superliga, FC Copenhagen occupy only the seventh place in the standings with six points earned and 5:3 goal difference after five rounds. It should be noted that “Loverne” lost their two away battles to Vardar and Brondby with the same 0:1 scoreline.
The rivals have never met before. The both sides are the grands of the domestic football systems while at the European stage they belong to the solid mid-table performers. I believe that the home pitch brings a slight advantage to the hosts and they will not be broken on Tuesday, especially, bearing in mind that the Danes show average performance on the road in recent games.
Prediction for the match: Qarabag to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
