Qarabag vs APOEL Prediction & Betting tips
Tuesday and Wednesday are reserved for the premier class. However, this week all qualifiers will be played on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the English duel for the European Supercup between Liverpool and Chelsea! A total of ten knockout duels are in this third of four qualifying rounds.
The first play-off participant will be determined from 17:30 between Qarabag Agdam and APOEL Nicosia. According to current odds after the first leg, much points to the master from Azerbaijan.
The hosts won the first leg 2-1 last week and have the best chances to reach the last play-off round. In this duel, the winner of the game PAOK Thessaloniki waits against Ajax Amsterdam. By reaching the play-off phase, the ticket for the knockout phase of the Europa League will be solved in the worst case scenario.
The loser from this knockout duel has yet to survive a qualifying round in the Europa League. The hosts are not only the favorites to progress, but also in the second leg between Qarabag Agdam and APOEL Nicosia the betting odds for the tip on the home win are significantly lower.
Qarabag Agdam:
A Little History Lesson To Begin: Agdam has been a ghost town for over 20 years, after Armenian units captured the city. The original name was kept by the club, but is now settled in the capital Baku. In the process, Qarabag Agdam has become the series champion of football in Azerbaijan in recent years. Since the season 2013/14, the team is continuously ranked number one in the domestic championship.
For the fans, the 2017/18 season remains unforgotten internationally, as the qualification for the group stage of the premier class and Qarabag Agdam top games against Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and AS Roma was denied. Last year, the club had to make do with the Europa League. This was by no means successful with one victory and five defeats in the group stage.
The current season in Azerbaijan begins next Friday. So far, the team of head coach Qurban Qurbanov played only games in qualifying for the premier class. In these five games, the team remained unbeaten (three wins, two draws). The two home games were each won without conceding. Very strong arguments that speak between Qarabag Agdam and APOEL Nicosia for a forecast on the home side.
With the 24-year-old left-back Ailton also plays a player with Germany-related at Qarabag. The Brazilian is on loan from VFB Stuttgart and is one of the few “boys” who are a fixed part of the first team. In general, Qarabag Agdam is a very experienced team. Except for the injured playmaker Filip Ozobic, the home side can draw on the full.
APOEL Nicosia:
APOEL Nicosia is the equivalent of Qarabag Agdam. The Cypriots are the absolute nonplusultra in their homeland and rush from championship titles to championship titles. Overall, APOEL can already boast 28 title wins in the national championship. Internationally, there have been ups and downs in recent years.
Completely disappointing was the past season, when the team had to cancel both in qualifying for the Champions League and in the Europa League. A group phase is the absolute minimum goal!
The championship in Cyprus has also not started yet and so the games in the premier class are currently the only competitive games dar. It APOEL Nicosia had to enter a lap later and had no problems with Sutjeska Niksic in the first knockout duel.
The home defeat in the past week was absolutely surprising, because in principle, the Cypriots are extremely strong home. In addition, the squad is qualitatively certainly not weaker than that of Qarabag Agdam.
The defeat before home crowd sealed off the departure of head coach Paolo Tramezzani. A few hours later, a successor was presented – and this is a German. Thomas Doll signed his fourth contract abroad. Last Doll was active at Hannover 96 and could not prevent the descent. He does not have much time to prepare for one of the most important games of the year. Great changes are not expected.
However, the guests will have to be offensive. At least two goals must be scored to have any chance of progress. APOEL Nicosia can take risks right from the start, as even the first goal would make no difference to the starting position, where at least two goals have to be scored.
