Qarabag vs Sheriff Tiraspol Prediction & Betting tips
Qarabağ and Sheriff meet in Tofiq Bəhramov adına Respublika stadionu, in a return leg of this UEFA Europa League (Play-offs) phase, after in the first leg the Sheriff won at home by (1-0) . The history of recent direct confrontations between these two teams indicates total balance, since there was 1 draw and 1 win for each team in the last 3 matches. In this game the home factor may be decisive, since both teams present considerable differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.
Qarabağ:
After the defeat in the first leg, the home team arrives at this disadvantaged match at a disadvantage, since they need to recover 1 goal from a disadvantage and have not scored any goals in the previous match. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 8 conceded; against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 13 goals scored and 8 suffered. In the last match they played, for Premyer Liqasi, they tied with Neftçi at home (1-1). In their last 10 home matches the Qarabağ recorded 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 21 of the last 50 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 33 out of 50 have ended with Under 2,5 goals.
The Karabakh Agdam is a club that has six cups conquered in the Supreme League (1st Division of Azerbaijan), being the last one conquered last season, in 2017/18. When analyzing the Karabakh Agdam in this season, we see that he was eliminated in the third qualifying round of the Champions League by BATE Borisov by 2×1, in the aggregate score, and that is why he reached this stage of the Europa League. In the last five games that the Karabakh Agdam played in his stadium, counting several competitions, in all they scored less than 1.5 goals in the first half. We believe that in this confrontation the boss will repeat himself, as the Karabaj Agdam will face an opponent with a very defensive proposal (because he is in the lead), which will make it difficult for the local team to score goals at the start of the game.
Sheriff:
The away team comes to this second leg with an advantage of 1 goal, but suffered 0 goals at home in the first leg. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 12 conceded; against 12 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 39 goals scored and 5 conceded. In the last match he played, for the National Divide ?, he beat Dinamo-Auto at home by (2-0). In the last 10 away matches the Sheriff has 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. The defense has been strong and only has suffered goals in 3 of the last 10 matches, and their attack has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches.
Sheriff Tiraspol is a club that never managed to win a European title, but has important national titles, such as sixteen Divizia Nationala (Moldova Championship), the last conquered in 2017. Sheriff Tiraspol was participating in the Champions League, but was eliminated in the second preliminary phase by Shkendija and then eliminated Valur in the third preliminary phase of the Europa League. In the last five games that Sheriff Tiraspol played as a visitor, counting several competitions, the Sheriff lost four. Sheriff Tiraspol won at home the Karabakh Agam for 1×0, now, we believe that in this upcoming match Sheriff Tiraspol, playing away from home, will try to sustain the offensive attacks of Karabakh Agdam and that’s why the game will have few goals, mainly in the first half.
