FK Qarabag vs Dinamo Zagreb Predictions

• All of Dinamo’s last eight matches have featured at least three goals
• Over 2.5 goals was a winning beat in eight of Qarabag’s last ten Champions League matches

Qarabag going through a sticky patch

Qarabag pulled off a great recovery to get past Ludogorets in the last round of the Champions League qualifiers after losing the first leg at home and firing in four extra-time goals in Bulgaria, but they may be unable to repeat the trick against in-form Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday.

The Azerbaijani champions were firmly put in their place a week ago, losing 3-0 in the Croatia and it is difficult to see them putting up a stronger performance in the return leg, even though their visitors have such a comfortable cushion.

It is not just that result that is a cause for concern for the backers of the team who won their domestic league by 25 points last season, as they were also surprisingly beaten 1-0 at home by Turan on Saturday.

Zagreb can turn on the style

Their first-leg winning margin means Zagreb are strong favourites to make the group stage and don’t need to win in Baku, but it could actually be a hard habit to break.

They have won all four of their league games this season and the fact Ludogorets have already won at Qarabag should ensure they can keep close order.

Their advantage is bound to play a role in proceedings, but it could be worth backing the visitors, who are the stronger outfit, in he draw-no-bet market, and those looking for a correct-score investment may be tempted by a 2-1 away win.
