Neftci Baku hosts Olympiacos Piraeus in the second leg of the Champions League qualification quarterfinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 28th at Bakcell Arena (Baku)
Neftci's defense failed in each of the last five matches, but the attack often leveled this shortcoming. The Oil Workers scored in four games and won three of them. In the first match against Olympiacos, the attack let the Azerbaijani club down. Neftci conceded again but failed to score in response. The Oil Workers scored first in the games against Domzale (1-2), Spartak (2-1), and Dinamo Tbilisi (2-1). But in the return match versus the Georgians, they were the first to concede, and the same thing happened in the game with Olympiacos. Bookmakers give the coefficient of 1.68 that the visitors will score the first goal in the upcoming match.

Having gained the victory over Neftci, Olympiacos continued a streak of successful matches, in which the Greek club not only won but also did not concede. This streak has already lasted three games in a row. Beyond that, the Red-Whites have not lost any of their last five matches. In each of them, the team managed to score at least one goal. In three out of five cases, Olympiacos scored at least two goals. The Greeks conceded in two of their last five matches, and each time the opponents were the first to score. In the next three games, Olympiacos did not give the opponents a chance and scored in the first half. Five of six goals in the last three matches were scored in the first 45 minutes.
Neftci and Olympiacos crossed paths for the first time in the international arena. The Greeks had more possession of the ball (57% vs 43%), but at the same time they were less likely to threaten the opponent's goalkeeper. Neftci delivered 21 shots on the opponent's goal, and four of them were on target. And Olympiacos players shot on goal four times (two shots on target). One of them turned into a goal. For the third match in a row, the Greeks refuse to concede. But at the same time, they themselves are not good enough in the attack. In the game against the Oil Workers, the Red-Whites delivered only two shots on target, although they played at home. In general, the Greek club was able to score more than two goals in only one of the last five matches. The current shape allows Olympiacos to count on another successful match.
Prediction for the match: Olympiacos Piraeus to win with +0.5 handicap and Under 2.5 goals scored
