This qualification is a great chance for Zurich to show themselves. Last season, Zurich became Swiss champions for the first time since 2009. It is worth noting that the club broke away from the nearest pursuer by as much as 14 points, so they finished the tournament without any particular motivation. The title defense for the club started unsuccessfully, as in the first round of the championship they lost to one of the direct competitors Young Boys with a score of 0:4. In the summer, Zurich held 5 friendly matched, taking 4 victories, although the rivals were not of a high level, the team lost 2:3 to the most serious club – Stuttgart. It is clear to the naked eye that the team will bet on attacking football.
The clubs played each other only once before, it was a friendly meeting in 2015, then the teams recorded a draw – 1:1. We are in for a fascinating confrontation between strong teams, it is difficult to give preference to someone here. If we take the first match, a slight advantage is given to Qarabag, this is due to the fact that the champion of Azerbaijan plays at home. There is no doubt that an unpredictable battle awaits us, betting on total over 2.5 goals looks exciting here.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
