Qarabağ form and stats

Qarabağ was sent out of Europa League in the group stage last season.

Qarabağ are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 2 games and collected 2 points (0 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses). Two points from the last two away games for Qarabağ, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Qarabağ has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Sumqayt for a Premier League game that ended a draw (2-2). Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Neftci.

Qarabağ's last match (vs Sumqayt) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by F. Ozobić.

Qarabağ are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, zero draws and zero defeats. From a total of one match.

A quick return to home after this game, as Qarabağ are hosting Sebail in the Premier League only three days away.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Qarabağ has managed 2 goals and let in 2 from 2 matches.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
