Lech Poznan take on the visitors Qarabag in the first leg of round of 16 in UEFA Champions League qualification. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 5th at Stadion Miejski (Poznań).
Lech were able to return to the top of Polish football. The "Railroad" now has a fairly wide range of opportunities. Including managed to recruit a lot of legionnaires, among them - and Michael Ischak, a Swedish striker with experience playing in the Bundesliga 1 for Cologne and Nuremberg. With his help (18 goals and 5 assists), it was possible to regain the championship title for the first time since 2015. Raków was eventually overtaken by 5 points. But now the Poles have a new mentor, a fairly experienced and relatively successful Dutchman van den Brom. But he has not worked in Extraklass before, moreover, on Tuesday there will be an official debut at a new club.

Karabakh again became No. 1 in Azerbaijan. The "Riders" missed the title last season - it went to Neftchi. Prior to this, the representative of Aghdam has consistently taken gold since 2014. The revenge turned out to be taken more than successfully, the gap was as much as 19 points in the spring. The Azerbaijanis have already taught them to show themselves well in the international arena. The peak was 2017, when it was possible to break into the group stage of the Champions League and play with Chelsea, Atlético and Roma. It was not possible to repeat this success, but invariably, even after that, Karabakh was represented at the main stage, first of the Europa League, and, last year, in the Conference League. Now there will be a new attempt to prove themselves and, as always, very ambitious goals are being set in the Transcaucasus.
Lech Poznan is unstable and does not play very often in the international arena. So it is not surprising that for the first time he will host the champion of Azerbaijan on his field. Lech are seen as the favorite, obviously due to his status as the home team. But Karabakh compensates for this with experience, so it's better to use an option of "under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
