Qarabag vs Braga Prediction & Betting Tips (22 February)

Qarabag had a great performance in the first leg in Portugal, bringing not just a simple victory, but a victory with four goals scored to a team which still occupies 4th place in the Liga Portugal Betclic 2-4. A real blow for the Azerbaijanis who remained on a setback in the elite against Sabah Baku, poorly ranked in the championship 3-3. Furthermore, the championship is soon coming to an end and with 15 points ahead of its runner-up, we wonder how FK will not seek its 11th coronation as national champion. Playing the group stage of the UEFA Champions League during the first part of the season, Braga was too tight to compete with Real Madrid and Naples but still held on to finish 3rd and participate in this Europa League.

Aware that the draw was favorable to him at first glance, Braga finally collapsed in the first leg by conceding a significant defeat in his lair 2-4. Currently 4th in the Portuguese elite, the Warriors of Minhotos managed to raise their heads immediately by defeating the promoted Farense last weekend 2-1. Let us remember that in the championship, a reaction was expected by the fans since Braga had beaten Sporting 5-0.

Suspended from the first leg following his red against Hacken in the group stage, Vesovic will probably be back on the scoresheet. Clearly, the Azerbaijani group should be complete for this meeting with in particular the scorers of the first leg, Jakovic, the double scorer Zoubir (6 goals in the league this season) and Juninho (15 pawns in 22 appearances in the elite this season). The latter is also the top scorer in the championship. Let's not forget to mention elements like Benzia (8 goals in the league), the Frenchman, Keyta (6 pawns) without forgetting Andrade (also 6 goals) or even Bayramov (5 goals in the league) and the young local talent, Akhundzade ( 4 goals). Huge blow for Braga who must cope without Horta (7 goals, 2 assists in the league) who would suffer from fairly serious health problems.

Note the withdrawals of Bruma (2 goals in 14 appearances this season) and Marin (rotation), both on the flank. Having left to play the CAN with the DRC (without necessarily being a starter), Banza saw his 1st place in the scorers ranking stolen by Gyokeres (Sporting) and intends to regain it (15 pawns in the championship). The latter crashed in the first leg and in the championship last weekend. Alvaro Djalo (6 goals, 3 assists in the elite) will probably be traveling.
