Qarabag (Aze) vs FC Copenhagen (Den) Prediction & Betting tips
Of all the potential opponents from the Champions League playoffs’ pot, there was only one against which FC Copenhagen had already had to go in its history. And with the FK Qarabag Agdam exactly the opponent was drawn. In 1998, FC Copenhagen played a 10-0 win in the Europapokal Cup, a result which should not be expected in 2017.
Qarabag (Aze) :
On the weekend the Azerbaijani champion Qarabag Agdam started the new season in the premier league and have just made a 3-1 away defeat at Neftschi Baku. This meant that Qarabag Agdam, who also won the national cup in the last season alongside the championship, also immediately returned to the top of the table. The big goal Champions League is only two games away and with the FC Copenhagen Qarabag Agdam has pulled a quite feasible opponent. The cornerstone for reaching the group stage is to be laid at home in the first leg. In the last season, Qarabag Agdam could look back on a 10-3-1 home match in the league.
Last year, the club failed to reach the top two qualifying rounds in the second round of qualifying round to 0-0 and 0-1 at Celtic Glasgow. The Europa League have then reached Qarabag Agdam, but there was hardly any land against Tottenham, Monaco and Anderlecht. This year, the Azerbaijani double winner beat FC Samtredia from Georgia (5: 0, 1: 0) and Sherif Tiraspol from Moldova (0: 0, 2: 1) out of the competition. Interesting: Qarabag Agdam lost all four of his preparatory games, but remained unbeaten in the first five competitive games of the new season – four victories. Qarabag Agdam has been undefeated for sixteen competitive games – twelve wins, four draws.
FC Copenhagen (Den) :
The new Superliga season in Denmark is already five years old, but the FC Copenhagen has not really come out of the starting holes. The double winner of the preseason can only show six points after five games. With just one win, three draws and a defeat, FC Copenhagen are only eighth out of fourteen. The only break in the league so far was against the city rivals Brondby Copenhagen, with the 0-1 defeat to the edge. The encounter of rioters, where Hooligans even beat the policemen, was overruled. In the last match, FC Copenhagen did not have a 1-1 draw at home against AC Horsens, which also struck coach Stole Solbakken.
Just like Qarabag Agdam, FC Copenhagen also had to play in the second round of the Champions League qualifying. Even then the Danes struggled against the Slovak representative MSK Zilina. After a 3-1 home defeat in the first leg, FC Copenhagen had to shake the 2-2 home win at home to last. In the third round, the Danish champions, with the home side’s 1: 1 home advantage at Vardar Skopje, went into the home stadium. The 4: 1 victory at home sounds clear, but it was exciting until the fourth goal in the 88th minute, which also fell by penalty, because in a 3-2 success the Macedons would have moved into the playoffs.
