Qarabag vs Shelbourne

Qarabag hold a 3-0 lead as they host Shelbourne in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League qualifiers.

Given the huge deficit to overcome, the visitors are expected to come out all guns blazing on Wednesday. However, that could leave them exposed at the back, and the hosts have the quality to take advantage.

Qarabag News

It was a dominant display from Qarabag in the first leg as they were untroubled for much of the contest. Leandro Andrade opened the scoring early in the first half, while Oleksii Kashchuk and Nariman Akhundzade added further goals after the break.

That was a solid return to competitive action for Qarabag, who had been in preseason in the last few weeks. They will be keen to maintain that momentum in the second leg and have won their last seven home matches across all competitions.

Qarabag are often solid at the back and have kept clean sheets in their last six home matches across all competitions. However, as seen in the first leg, they also have quality going forward and have scored in both halves in their last two matches in front of their fans.

Shelbourne News

Despite being the home side in the first leg, Shelbourne were second best throughout that encounter. They were far too open defensively and also struggled to muster any attacking threat, finishing without a single attempt on target.

A small positive for Shelbourne is that they had done some good work before that defeat. Joey O’Brien’s team were unbeaten in six straight matches across all competitions and will look to channel some of those performances.

However, the problem for Shelbourne heading into Wednesday's clash is a poor record on their travels. They are winless in eight of their last 10 away matches across all competitions.

Head to Head

The only previous meeting between Qarabag and Shelbourne was last week's first leg, which ended 3-0 in favour of the Azerbaijanis.

Verdict

FK Qarabag v Shelbourne

Having secured a dominant victory in the first leg, Qarabag will be confident of seeing out a similar result in this clash. They have scored in both halves in their last two home matches, and a repeat is expected here.

Qarabag have maintained a solid defensive record lately, keeping clean sheets in their last six home matches. They have also won to nil in all six fixtures and could be set for a similar outcome.
