Match Prediction: Qarabağ 2-1 FC København

Qarabağ's recent form suggests a team capable of high-scoring victories and resilience away from home. Their ability to score three goals against Benfica and twice against Ferencvárosi indicates a potent attack that could challenge FC København's defence. 

However, their home loss to Ferencvárosi shows vulnerability that FC København might exploit, particularly if they can maintain the solid defensive structure shown in their recent home games.

FC København's form has been more consistent, with a strong home record and the ability to secure points away from home. Their draws against Bayer Leverkusen and Basel highlight a team that can hold its own against strong opposition. 

Yet, their inability to secure a win in their last three away games could be a concern against a Qarabağ side that has shown strength at home. The match could hinge on FC København's ability to break down Qarabağ's defence while maintaining their own.

Qarabağ's recent Champions League results indicate a team in good form, having won four of their last five matches in qualifying. Their ability to score multiple goals, including a 5-1 victory over Skendija 79 at home, suggests confidence and attacking prowess. 

This form could translate into a strong performance against FC København, especially if they can replicate their home scoring form.

Recent Champions League Results:

• Win: 3-2 vs Benfica (A)

FC København has shown consistency in their recent performances, with three wins and two draws in their last five games. Their ability to secure points against strong teams like Bayer Leverkusen and Basel in qualifying indicates a solid team structure. 

However, their recent away form, with two draws and no wins, might be a concern as they face a Qarabağ side that has been strong at home.

Recent Champions League Results:

• Draw: 2-2 vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen (H)

The Champions League head-to-head record between Qarabağ and FC København is evenly matched, with each team securing a victory in their previous encounters. FC København won 2-1 at home, while Qarabağ won 1-0 at home. This suggests a closely contested match, with both teams capable of winning on their home turf.

Their recent European form suggests they will aim to control the game's tempo and look for opportunities on the counter.

• Jankovic vs Delaney: The midfield battle between Qarabağ's  Jankovic and FC København's Delaney could be crucial, with both players likely to influence the game's flow and tempo.

• Cafarquliyev (Qarabağ): Cafarquliyev's recent performances make him a key player for Qarabağ, with his ability to contribute both defensively and offensively down the flank.

• Elyounoussi (FC København): Larsson's role as a forward for FC København makes him a pivotal player, with his goal-scoring ability crucial to their chances of securing a positive result.
