Although Twente was the more active team in the first match against Karabakh in the Conference League, the Dutch team lost their home match 0:1 and will now have to seek a comeback in Azerbaijan. This will not be an easy task against an opponent that has shown extremely stable defensive play in this European campaign.
Karabakh impresses with its solid defenseKarabakh began its European participation in the Europa League, where it did not concede a single goal in its four matches, although it subsequently exited the tournament. In the last round of the Conference League, the team conceded only one goal in the two matches against Dynamo Kyiv. Now Karabakh has an advantage from the first match, so I expect them to be well-organized in defense again and to take advantage of their home advantage.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goalsTwente has no choice but to seek a goal, but at the same time, they must be careful, as another goal from Karabakh would seriously complicate their task. Five of the last six matches of the Azerbaijani team in all competitions have ended with under 2.5 goals, and this time I expect a tense and cautious return leg with few goals.
