FC Zurich – Qarabag Agdam Tip, Prognosis & Odds
Azerbaijani lost just two of their seven away games in Europe last year. The second defeat, a 3-1 away away game in Marseille, sealed their elimination from the Conference League knockout stage.
The first defeat, on the other hand, could be considered be rated as a bad omen on Thursday. Because Qarabag went down as a guest at FC Basel in the ECL group phase with an unusually sharp 0: 3.
Incidentally, that was the clearest international defeat for the Caucasians since a 6-0 loss to Chelsea in the 2017/18 Champions League preliminary round. Will memories of this “Swiss trauma” come to life on Wednesday in the Letzigrund?
However, Qarabag could benefit from the fact that the reigning Swiss champions were able to retain almost all key players from the championship season, but had to replace the gang’s “brilliant head”.
Because ex-coach André Breitenreiter is moving to TSG Hoffenheim and his successor Franco Foda – in his capacity EX national coach of the Austrian national team – will probably need a few more weeks to settle down, if he is even allowed to do so!
Because Zurich started the new season extremely badly. The 0:4 defeat at the start of the Super League season could still be excused with the strong opponent “somehow”, but on the 2nd matchday a tired 0:0 against Lucerne?
