Qarabag vs Chelsea Predictions
Qarabag’s scoring consistency keeps them dangerous
Qarabag have been one of the most consistent attacking sides in Europe this season. They’ve scored in all nine of their Champions League fixtures, including qualifiers, and even found the net away at Athletic Bilbao last time out. Six goals in three group-stage games underline their confidence in front of goal, while last year’s Europa League run also showed their ability to score at home against stronger opposition.
That attacking rhythm suggests they can test Chelsea’s defence, which has managed just two clean sheets in eight away matches across all competitions. Qarabag’s domestic shutouts may not translate to this level, but their front line has the movement and energy to take advantage of any lapse.
Tip: Both Teams To Score ( at N/A)
Chelsea’s class and attacking depth should make the difference
Chelsea arrive in Baku with momentum after six wins from their last seven matches in all competitions. Enzo Maresca’s side have scored in 14 consecutive fixtures and brushed Ajax aside 5-1 in their previous European outing. That efficiency in the final third, combined with depth in attacking options, makes them a constant threat against sides who struggle to contain pressure for long spells.
The Londoners have been vulnerable at the back, but their offensive quality usually outweighs defensive imperfections. A 3-1 victory looks realistic given their scoring form and Qarabag’s open approach. Young forward Estevão, who impressed with a goal against Ajax, could be the one to watch — he has five goals in his last eight appearances for club and country and may start again here.
Tip: Chelsea 3-1 ( at N/A)
