PLZEN

They struggled at home to Qarabag in the previous game but eventually got a clean draw and start as favorites at home in today's game. The draw in the first game was not a bad result and in some phases the offensive line of Qarabag was quite dangerous. Without the Hajda captain and head of its defensive function he will line up today.

"Qarabag are offensively a very quality opponent and we know that well after the first game, but we have a chance to beat them. Every team plays better at home, and the game will be sold out. We are close to qualifying, but also far ." were the statements of the coach of Plzen.

CARABAG

Karabagh tried to get the victory and the lead at home but failed and thus goes to the Czech Republic with the aim of qualifying at all costs. Outside the main stoppers Medina and fullback Medvedev. He did not have a league game in Azerbaijan as the away game against Turan Tovuz was postponed.

"Our goal from the beginning was to play good football and get into the groups. We are playing against a very strong team, but I trust my players. Now we have to be more precise in front than in the first match and more careful in their set-ups . Plzen will not be shut down, they have a very good offensive function." were the statements of coach Gurbanov.

ASSESSMENT

Today's match between two equal teams that are both capable of qualifying is a tightrope. I don't think it will be a close game similar to the first one, logically it will have more than two goals.

What is of great statistical interest is the exact score of Plzen's results so far. The exact score 2-1 has appeared 5/8 last games of the Czechs (3 times in this year's Champions League qualifiers) and it is not unlikely that he will also appear in today's match.

A risky choice in today's match exact score 2-1 at a performance of 9.75 from STOIXIMAN.
