Vestri vs Qarabag prediction

Qarabag earned themselves a comfortable 3-0 hammering of Vestri in the first-leg of their UEFA Europa League first qualifying round tie in Baku last week, courtesy of goals scored by Zakaria Sawo, Abdellah Zoubir and Renaldo Cephas.

Qarabag qualified for the knockout playoffs in the UEFA Champions League last season before being knocked off top spot in Azerbaijan by Sabah. Vestri qualified for their first ever UEFA competition, having won the Icelandic Cup last season but being relegated, meaning they are the first ever Icelandic second-tier side to play in Europe.

Vestri are a poor team for this level but their history has already been made as they prepare for the UEFA Europa Conference League, with Qarabag set to complete a comfortable victory here.
