Qarabag take on the visitors Lincoln Red Imps in the second leg of quarterfinals of EUFA Champions League qualification. First leg result: 2-0. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 30th at Tofiq Bahramov Stadium (Baku).
Qarabag with the sole exception of finishing second in the 2020/2021 season, have consistently won the Azerbaijani league title. They are so accustomed to this success that their season's performance is now measured by their achievements in European competitions, with the main goal being to reach the group stage of the Champions League. While they've faced setbacks in this pursuit, they usually don't stumble against the first opponent in qualification (and have had decent results in lower-profile tournaments, especially in the Nations League). So far, everything is going as expected. As predicted, the strong club from the South Caucasus settled the matter on the road, scoring against their hosts just before halftime and then doubling the lead in the middle of the second half.

Lincoln Red Imps have already achieved their minimum goal. The "Red Devils" have once again secured the championship title in Gibraltar. This team also reached the group stage of a European competition—albeit the Conference League, where they finished fourth. For such a small territory, this was a record-breaking achievement. They have already made it through the first round of Champions League qualification this season. Although they exchanged 1-0 victories with Hamrun Spartans—winning away and then advancing on penalties—the match against the "Stallions" proved tougher. They held out for almost the entire first half but eventually crumbled, avoiding a heavier defeat.
The "Stallions" also faced the Gibraltar champions last season, finding the away leg more challenging with a narrow 2-1 victory. However, they later secured a comfortable 4-0 win at home. The outcome seems clear, but the home team's significant class advantage suggests they could treat their fans to another victory. We predict a win for the home side in Baku with a handicap of "-2.5 goals."
Prediction for the match: Qarabag to win with -2.5 handicap.
