Qarabag visits Plzen to face Viktoria, for a match that decides which team will play in the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League group stage. The first duel between these two sides resulted in a goalless draw in Azerbaijan's capital, Baku, as the Czech managed to keep a clean sheet while being a worse team for the entire meeting. Qarabag is looking dangerous this season, defeating the Polish, Swiss, and Hungarian champions to reach the final stage of the UCL qualifiers. Led by a fantastic manager Gurban Gurbanov, who is leading this club for fourteen consecutive years, the guests should be considered a threat to the hosts. He and his squad have a lot of experience in these big matches, unlike the home team, so I expect the visitors to avoid defeat in the first ninety minutes.

Viktoria Plzen reached this stage after beating HJK and Sheriff Tiraspol, two weak opponents whose losses were expected. Michal Bilek's men continue to do well in the Czech top division, undefeated in the first three games of the ongoing campaign, as they won two and shared points in one duel. Qarabag opened the 2022-23 league campaign with two victories from two meetings, and is coming confident here. Throughout history, Plzen never managed to defeat the Azerbaijani champion in five clashes between them. The first time they met was in 2014, with Qarabag winning 3-1, while the following four meetings all ended in a draw. The hosts miss Petr Pejsa, Fortune Bassey, and Jhon Mosquera for the upcoming game, while the guests come with their strongest starting eleven.

Qarabag's midfielder Kady continues to give amazing performances in his team's European matches, scoring four and assisting three goals in six UCL qualifiers' games this season. He also scored five and assisted two times in the team's 2021-22 UEFA Europa Conference League run. Ibrahima Wadji was the hero in Qarabag's 3-1 win over Ferencvaros, scoring a brace to earn his club a triumph.

I expect the visitors to either win or draw here. Good luck!

卡拉巴格将造访普莱岑，对阵维多利亚，这场比赛将决定哪支球队将参加2022-23赛季的欧冠小组赛。双方在阿塞拜疆首都巴库的首场对决以0 - 0战平，捷克在整个比赛中表现不佳，但却保持了一场零封。卡拉巴格本赛季看起来很危险，击败了波兰、瑞士和匈牙利的冠军，进入了欧冠资格赛的最后阶段。在连续14年执教这支球队的优秀教练古尔班诺夫的带领下，客人应该被视为对东道主的威胁。他和他的球队在这些重要的比赛中有很多经验，不像主队，所以我希望客队能在前90分钟避免失败。

Viktoria Plzen在击败HJK和治安官Tiraspol后达到了这一阶段，这两个弱对手的失败是预料之中的。米哈尔·比莱克的球队在捷克顶级联赛中继续表现出色，在正在进行的联赛中，他们在前三场比赛中保持不败，他们在一场对决中赢得了两场比赛，分享了积分。卡拉巴格在2022-23赛季的联赛中以两场交锋的胜利拉开了序幕，他充满信心地来到了这里。纵观历史，Plzen在与阿塞拜疆冠军的五次交锋中从未成功击败过他。他们第一次相遇是在2014年，当时卡拉巴格3-1获胜，而随后的四次相遇都以平局告终。在即将到来的比赛中，东道主错过了佩杰萨、巴西和莫斯克拉，而客人们则带着他们最强的11人首发出场。

卡拉巴格的中场凯迪在球队的欧战中继续着惊人的表现，在本赛季的6场欧冠预选赛中打进4球，助攻3球。在球队2021-22赛季的欧联杯比赛中，他还打进5球，助攻2次。伊布·瓦吉是卡拉巴格3-1战胜费伦克瓦罗斯的比赛中的英雄，他的梅开二度为他的俱乐部赢得了胜利。

我期待客队在这里不是赢就是平。
