Qarabag take on the visitors AS Roma at "Tofig Bahramov Stadium" in the matchday two of the UEFA Champions League Group stage. The game will be played in Baku on Wednesday, September 27th.
Qarabag have to forget their debut fight in the UEFA Champions League as soon as possible. In the first round of the tournament the side was smashed 0:6 by Chelsea on the road. However, “Atlılar” followed that disaster by two victories in the Azerbaijan's Premier League: 2:0 vs. Kapaz and 4:1 vs. SumQayit. Qarabag are leading in the national elite division table with 15 points gained and 12-3 goal difference after five encounters played. The Azerbaijan's champion demonstrates powerful football in face of its supporters, having lost for the last time on the 28th of February. Afterwards the club got 10 triumphs and three draws in 13 home clashes. The winning home run of Gurban Gurbanov's team counts for five matches with 10:2 aggregated score and has been lasting since the 15th of August.

In their turn, AS Roma come up to the away fight in the UEFA Champions League with four-clash undefeated streak, having earned 0:0 draw against Atletico Madrid in the first matchday of the Eurocup while in the Serie A the side gained three consecutive victories with 10:1 aggregated score. After five gameweeks behind in the Italian elite division, "I Lupi" sit on the fourth position in the standings with 12 points earned and 12-4 goal difference. Taking into account last season, the AS Roma's winning series on the road consists of seven encounters with 24:5 aggregated score and has been lasting since the 12th of March.
The rivals have never met before at the football pitch. For the hosts each battle within the Group C is a specific lesson, as Qarabag were drawn in the group with extremely strong opponents. I believe that the Italians will beat the hosting side in the upcoming clash as "I Lupi"'s football class is much higher.
Prediction for the match: AS Roma to win.
