Match announcement
Qarabag FK
Current form
The last Europa League draw was extremely successful for Karabakh. The team managed to reach the playoffs, where they managed to beat Portuguese Braga (4:2 and 3:2). In the 1/8 finals, the team imposed serious competition on the future finalist, Bayer. After a 2:2 draw in the first match, the Azerbaijanis were leading 2:0 in the second match, but conceded two goals in the end and were eliminated from the tournament. The team failed to start this Europa League draw successfully, losing to Tottenham (0:3) and Malmo (1:2) in the first two matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Shakhruddin Makhammadaliev and Amin Ramazanov will miss the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not played a draw once this season.
- The club has won two dry victories in a row
Estimated lineup : Buntic - Dzhafarguliev, Medina, Mustafazade, Guseinov - Andrade, Romao - Zubir, Benzia, Leandro Andrade - Juninho
Ajax
Current form
Ajax finished last season in fifth place in the Dutch championship, which clearly does not correspond to the club ambitions. The team currently occupies third place in the Eredivisie, but is already 11 points behind the leader PSV. The team did not get into the Champions League, and had to get into the Europa League through several qualifying rounds. Along the way, the Amsterdam club managed to beat Vojvodina (1:0 and 3:1), Panathinaikos (1:0 and 1:1, d.p.) and Jagiellonia (4:1 and 3:0). In the main stage, they managed to start with a confident victory over Besiktas (4:0), but in the second round, the visitors lost to Prague Slavia (1:1), and defender Youri Baas received a red card.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Dutch have quite an impressive list of injured players. Steven Berghuis, Christian Hlinsson, Julian Reichoff, Gaston Avila, Sivert Mannsverk and Amaurrijo van Axel Dongen are all in the infirmary. Youri Baas will not play in the upcoming match due to disqualification.
Interesting trends for betting
- The club has not lost in nine matches in a row
- The visitors have had red cards in two of their last three matches
Prospective lineup : Paswer - Rench, Sutalo, Goei, Hato - van den Bomen, Tahirovic, Taylor - Rasmussen, Brobbey, Godtz

9.00Bet Both Teams to Score
This bet has played in the last three away matches
1.53Bet Number 1 in the final score
The pattern has worked in two of the visitors' last three matches
1.70Tip and bets
The hosts have not looked as impressive this season as they did last season. The Azerbaijani club did not score a single point in their first two Europa League matches, and they were unable to avoid defeat against Malmö. Taking points from Ajax will be even more difficult, so it is hard to believe that Gurban Gurbanov team will be able to create a sensation. The Dutch club will most likely prevail in this match.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Ajax for 1.63
Bet on total
The hosts often have bright matches in attack, but the team is not impressive in defense. Ajax will definitely be able to score a couple of goals against the champion of Azerbaijan, but they themselves may well concede, as in their three previous matches. We think that in this match we will see many goals.
Bet - total over 2.5 goals. This outcome is offered with a coefficient of 1.60
Bet on corners
Karabakh will probably spend a lot of time attacking in the home match, but Ajax is quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.80
