There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the Champions League 1st Qualifying Round meeting between Qarabağ and Lech Poznań. Game on!

These teams have little in common geographically as Lech Poznań have to travel 3300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

The visiting Lech Poznań played their last game only three days ago, a Super Cup match.

Lech Poznań form and stats

They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the group stage.

The story so far for the visiting team on their Ekstraklasa travels is 9 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Super Cup home loss versus Rakow Czestochowa with 0-2 on the scoreboard.

A quick return to home after this game, as Lech Poznań are hosting Stal Mielec in the Ekstraklasa only four days away.

Poznań are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 27 times in 17 away games so far.

Head 2 Head

Lech Poznań - Qarabağ 1-0 was the output when this pair of contenders last did battle, also in this season.
