Linfield hosts Qarabag in the first leg of the Europa League qualification finals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 22nd at Windsor Park (Belfast)
The appearance of the club from Northern Ireland in the fourth qualifying round of the European Cups is an epic win! Club football of this country is at a very low level... The Irish were lucky with a draw because they avoided meetings with teams of an even more or less strong level. In the Champions League, they lost to Rosenborg in the first qualifying round (0-6 on average), and then fortune turned its face to the team in terms of the draw in the qualifying rounds of the Europa League! In the beginning, Linfield met the Faroese team Torshavn. The matches were difficult, but the Irish won 3-2 on average and met Montenegrin Sutjeska, where the victory was more confident - 5-3 on average. But this Irish journey in European competitions will probably end after this stage. There are no simple rivals left for the British team, and it has to fight with a strong, experienced fighter in the person of Qarabag. And this rival is beyond the power of the British! Well, only the most loyal fans of Linfield can really think and hope that their team will succeed in confronting the Azerbaijanis...

In recent years, Qarabag has become a really strong Euro Cup fighter.! Perhaps the Champions League group is a too serious tournament for this team, and they did not feel very comfortable when they got there. But the Europa League is just what they need! The mood of the Azerbaijanis is not very good right now, as they lost the almost already won confrontation with APOEL in the third qualifying round of the Champions League... Qarabag won 2-1 in Cyprus and lost 0-2 at home... But after that failure, the team held a match of the first round of the Azerbaijani championship and beat Keshlia 1-0 away, and this victory may indicate that the team forgot the failure with the Cypriots quickly, and it is ready to take the last step to the European Cup autumn. And this step is frankly not difficult! North Irish Linfield is the easiest rival of Azerbaijanis in the current European cup company! Therefore, it will be extremely ridiculous and strange if the Caucasian team has problems in this battle... But we shouldn’t wait for its hammering victory since this team experiences serious problems in away games.
I won’t come up with anything like that in terms of betting on this match. I chose the option: the victory of Qarabag! The men of Gurban Gurbanov will surely bring not the brightest but still victory from Britain.
Prediction for the match: Qarabag to win
