Shkendija vs Qarabag prediction

Shkendija began their European campaign by edging past Welsh champions The New Saints after extra-time in the first qualifying round. They then pulled off a major upset to defeat Romanian champions FCSB in the second qualifying round, as they pulled off an impressive 3-1 aggregate victory against the Romanian giants.

They now face a Qarabag side that were extremely impressive in the second qualifying round last month. The Azeri giants comfortably defeated Shelbourne by three goals to nil in Dublin in the first-leg, before they then completed a 4-0 aggregate victory with a 1-0 win in the second-leg in Baku.

Shkendija will be expected to keep things tight in North Macedonia and they have been impressive, but Qarabag would have to be viewed as slight favourites for this one.

Shkendija vs Qarabag tip: Qarabag to win & under 3.5 goals
