Reds out to ruffle some feathers in Baku

Shelbourne will not want to go out of Europe with a whimper on Wednesday when they travel to Azerbaijan already 3-0 down to Qarabag from the first leg.

Shelbourne boss Joey O’Brien took heart from his side’s second-half display at Tolka Park and has warned that his side will not surrender their Champions League dream easily. The Reds have scored in two of their last three European road trips and could ruffle a few feathers in Baku.

But Qarabag’s quality should eventually come through again. They had too much pace and precision up front in the first leg with classy operators Pedro Bicalho and Leandro Andrade doing some of the damage.

Qarabag can win again in closer affair

Back Qarabag to win with fewer than four goals in the game. Shelbourne have lost two of their last four European away games 3-0, but are rarely beaten any more convincingly than that.

The Azerbeijanis have lost their last six home games in European competition, albit against tougher opponents than Shelbourne. They did manage a 2-1 win at Bodo/Glimt in last year’s Europa League and a repeat scoreline could be in prospect here.
