Zurich take on the visitors Qarabag in the second leg of UEFA Champions League qualification quarterfinals. First leg result: 2-3. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 27th at Letzigrund Stadion (Zürich).
Zurich became the one of the main sensations of last season. "FCZ" can actually be considered the giant of Swiss football. They have a dozen league titles and a dozen national cups. But it is worth remembering that relatively recently the club flew out of the top division of their native Switzerland. And, most importantly, Basel has dominated there lately, and then Young Boys. And suddenly Zurich climbed to the 1st place! However, the coach who achieved this, Andre Breitenreiter, returned to his homeland - they made a bet on him in Hoffenheim. The German was replaced by his countryman, Franco Foda, remembered for his good work with the Austrian national team. But so far, he hasn't been able to do much. In the Super League he started with a humiliating 0-4 in Bern, with the Young Boys, and then lost in Baku, albeit minimally.

Qarabag regained its status as a symbol of club football in Azerbaijan. The "Riders" gave the title of national champion in the season before last to Neftchi. But, judging by how confidently they returned to 1st place in 2021/2022, this was an exception. In addition, everyone is already accustomed to taking this project seriously in the international arena. Yes, the team made it to the main round of the Champions League only once. But in general, in the Europa League (last season - in the Conference League) they play in the "group" all the time. Now Gurbanov and his wards want to go further in the main European Cup. They have already managed to pass Lech after losing in Poznań and conceding in the 1st minute at home. Yes, and the Swiss won at home. But at the same time, leading 2-0 and 3-1, in the end they were limited to only 3-2, which left a common intrigue in the pair.
In addition to this cycle, one can only recall a friendly match at the beginning of 2015. Then it all ended in a 1-1 draw. Zurich will definitely try to win at home, but this time his opponent is seasoned and experienced. We recommend that you limit yourself to a neutral option with a bet on "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
