THE PREDICTION
Azeri champions Qarabag stunned Europe last week as they went away to Portugal and defeated Sporting Braga by four goals to two in the first-leg of this UEFA Europa League knockout playoff tie. The home team have been entertaining throughout the campaign and that six-goal thriller now means their last seven games across all competitions have consisted of 37 goals. Artur Jorge is under pressure at Braga but they, who play their own entertaining style of football, did earn a much-needed win over Farense in the league at the weekend. They will travel to Azerbaijan and go on the front foot with a high-scoring encounter to be expected here.
TIP: OVER 2.5 GOALS
