Qarabag vs HJK Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the UEFA Europa League Qualifiers on Thursday, 10 August 2023.
Qarabag are set to host HJK in the first leg of their Europa League Qualification fixture at Tofiq Bahramov Stadium. Qarabag enters the contest after being ousted in the UCL Qualifiers by Rakow Czestochowa, losing 4-3 on aggregate. They have also had a slow start to their domestic season.
Their opponents, HJK, were also defeated in the UCL Qualifiers, falling 2-1 on aggregate to Molde, although they have enjoyed a strong domestic season thus far.
This will be marked as the first ever meeting between these two teams.
We are counting on HJK to pull off a win here. They have a great form heading into this one. Five of their past seven matches have ended in victories.
Qarabag, on the other hand, are currently struggling for form. They haven’t won any of their last three matches. Two of those matches ended in defeats as well.
We don’t expect a flurry of goals in this match. In three of Qarabag’s last four home matches, there have been fewer than 2.5 goals scored. Also, three of HJK’s past five matches have ended with under 2.5 goals.
By the looks of things, a low-scoring affair is expected this time out.
The bookies have Qarabag as the favourite, but backing them at 1.33 odds isn’t a good value bet considering HJK’s fine form heading into the match. They have won five of their past seven matches. Furthermore, Qarabag has had a poor form going into the match.
A +1.5 Asian handicap on HJK at 2.05 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
For the second tip, under 2.5 goals at 1.85 odds seems very promising. Considering both teams recent goal involvement in their matches and their past results.
