Prediction published on 15/08/2022, 15:45  by Daniel Ngulu in Champions League Predictions

Qarabag have come from the first qualification round of the UEFA Champions League and they are very close to the group stages. In the playoffs, they will be at home against Viktoria Plzen in the first leg. Going into the game, Qarabag have three straight wins and are unbeaten in their last seven matches. Six times in these seven matches, Qarabag have scored two or more goals but they have only one clean sheet in their last 10 matches. Eight times in Qarabag’s last 10 matches, both teams have scored. They did lose in the first leg of their first qualification round tie, against Lech Poznan but have gone unbeaten in the five matches that have followed in the competition, winning three. They however haven’t managed a clean sheet in their six Champions League qualification matches so far.

Viktoria Plzen eliminated last season’s Champions League giant killers, Sheriff in the last round and they will be looking to go all the way to the group stages. Just like Qarabag, they have a good scoring run but have struggled a bit in defence. In their last five matches, they have scored twice in each game, but they have conceded in each of the matches too. Viktoria Plzen’s last five matches have each produced over 2.5 goals. Coming into this game, they have four straight wins, while they have six wins in their last seven matches. In their away matches, Viktoria Plzen have no loss in the last five games, only failing to score in just one of them.
