Our predictions for Qarabağ vs FC København
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.
