Qarabag FK vs HJK Helsinki Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Kennedy Kechula in Europa League Predictions
Qarabag will on Thursday host HJK Helsinki in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League third-round qualifier. The winner on aggregate after the return leg will advance to the final round of qualifying. Qarabag were eliminated in the second round of qualifying in the Champions League hence their participation here. They lost 4-3 on aggregate to Rakow Czestochowa after failing to win any of the two legs. The two matches, a loss and a draw, began their current slump where they are now without a win in three outings. Gurban Gurbanov’s charges were defeated 1-0 at home in their last match by Zira in the Azerbaijani domestic league. The loss ended a three-match unbeaten competitive run at home where two of those matches had ended in victory. Qarabag haven’t lost at home in Europe this season and will hope to keep this intact.
HJK Helsinki were also eliminated from the Champions League in the second qualifying round. They will now hope to make the group stages of the Europa League as they did last season. Toni Korkeakunnas’ charges were defeated 2-1 on aggregate by Molde. They won the first leg at home 1-0 but were unable to hold on to their lead in the return match. The Finnish side has been in good form lately with the second-leg loss to Molde the only loss in their last seven matches. They bounced back from the loss in their last fixture as they defeated Mariehamn 4-2 in the league. Klubi will hope to keep this momentum going as they seek their first away win in Europe this season.
