Neftci Baku hosts Bnei Yehuda in the first leg of the Europa League qualification semifinals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 8th at Bakcell Arena (Baku)
Azerbaijani Neftci began its way in the Europa League from the 1st qualification round. The team held two high-quality fights with Moldavian Speranza, having managed to beat it 9:0 on average. The Black and whites did not experience great difficulties with Arsenal Tula either. In Tula, the fate of the match was decided after a positional error by the defenders of the Russian team, and Dario hit the goal from 10 meters. In Baku, the local football team celebrated success with a 3:0 result. The most interesting thing is that Arsenal conceded all three goals after the break due to accurate shots of Aliyev, Mbodj and Dario (from the penalty spot). In the first match of the 3rd qualification round, the hosts will meet the Israeli club Bnei Yehuda, and they are considered clear favorites. Neftci will try to confirm its intentions to go further this Thursday.

Bnei Yehuda is just rolling into the new season. The team begins its journey in the Europa League just from the 3rd stage of the tournament. Before the first meeting with Neftci, the Israelis had only one friendly match, which they could win with a 4:0 score. They met Sandomerz from the lower Polish division. It’s hard to say how ready Bnei Yehuda football players are to the game with Neftci, but it’s known that the Azerbaijani team is preparing for this game to the fullest, and the Israelis will certainly have a hard time away.
Bnei Yehuda and Neftci have never met in their history, and therefore it is extremely difficult to predict what the scoring of this game will be. It is only known that Neftci has already managed to hold several official games in the Europa League, while the Israeli opponent of Azerbaijanis is only rolling in this season. Given the above, it makes sense to bet on the victory of the hosts.
Prediction for the match: Neftci Baku to win
