Qarabag vs Chelsea form

This is not the first time Qarabag has enjoyed the atmosphere of the Champions League group stage/classification. However, the performance of the team from Azerbaijan still surprised everyone. Remember the first time in the 2017/18 season, Qarabag fell into a very difficult group with the presence of Chelsea, AS Roma and Atletico Madrid.

After 6 matches, the Knights lost 5 and won only 1, ranked bottom of the table and were soon eliminated from the game. But in this comeback, Qarabag shook off the mask of being a road runner and performed much more impressively.

In the opening match, coach Gurban Gurbanov and his team created a shocking 3-2 comeback at Benfica's Da Luz stadium, despite being 2 goals down after 16 minutes of play. On the rise, Qarabag continued to "make mincemeat" of the guests FC Copenhagen 2-0.

The Azerbaijan champions' winning streak only stopped after a 1-3 defeat in the trip to the Basque Country to face Athletic Bilbao. Thanks to the 6 points won, Qarabag is currently in 13th place.

To maintain their presence in the top 24, thereby winning a ticket to the play-off for a place in the round of 16, coach Gurbanov and his students will have to make a lot of effort. Because their remaining schedule is very heavy.

Besides hosting Chelsea, the home team will also have to face Napoli, Ajax, Eintracht Frankfurt and close the classification stage with a trip to Liverpool's Anfield.

Although they have initially created an advantage for themselves, Qarabag's hopes of going far are still not highly appreciated. But above all, Akhundzade and his teammates will fight with the proud spirit of the Caucasian knights. Even if they have to stop early, Qarabag has created historical milestones with the capital of 2 victories.

Will Chelsea trade torture for 3 points?

On the other hand, Chelsea will have to go through a tiring journey to the far Eastern Europe. Having to travel a distance of more than 4,300 km promises to significantly wear down the strength of The Blues' stars.

But having come all the way, Chelsea have no reason not to aim for all 3 points to improve their current ranking. At this time, the London giants only have 6 points like the home team and will really need a win to hope to break into the top 8 (get a ticket straight to the round of 16).

The away team is currently in very good form. In the last 7 appearances, Chelsea has won 6 and lost only 1. In addition, in the last 4 away trips, coach Enzo Maresca and his team have also won.

In the 2017/18 Champions League group stage, Chelsea had a big win over Qarabag after both matches with scores of 6-0 and 4-0.
