Will Qarabag take the lead before half-time?
The two clubs made it clear in different ways last weekend where their priorities lie. Robbie Keane fielded a starting lineup with ten changes in the league game against Puskas Akademia and accepted defeat (1-2). The visitors from Azerbaijan postponed their first league game. For us, that means full focus on the Ferencvaros Budapest vs. Qarabag FC tip.
The arena in Budapest can tip the balance of power for the duration of a match. The Green Eagles have won their last six European home games. Playing in their own stadium inspires Keane’s team to power play. We therefore do not expect the home side to lose in our Ferencvaros Budapest vs. Qarabag FC prediction.
This impression is backed up by the Ferencvaros Budapest – Qarabag FC betting odds. Nevertheless, it is worth using this Interwetten voucher for a win bet. The reduced risk of a free bet can never hurt, especially if you know about the strengths of the visitors from Azerbaijan.
Qurban Qurbanov has been coaching the Stallions since 2008, averaging 2.00 points per game in 690 matches and building a permanent contender for the three European competitions. In this edition of the CL qualifiers, the club from Azerbaijan has won every match so far.
A real special feature and quality of Qurbanov’s team is the concentration that prevails from the start. Qarabag has scored at least one goal before the break in all four previous qualifying games. In addition, the offense impressed with ten goals, five of them in the last game against Shkendija (5-1). In our opinion, the best bet is a Ferencvaros Budapest – Qarabag FC odds of 1.83 for “Both teams to score.” You can currently find this offer in the betting section at Interwetten.
Ferencvaros Budapest – Qarabag FC Head-to-head / H2H record
2023 saw the last meeting between these two sides. In a friendly, the two clubs parted ways after a goal-filled draw (3-3). Prior to that, there were two other encounters – the home and away legs of the third qualifying round of the 2022 Champions League. At that time, the Hungarian record champions (36 national championships) created good conditions away from home (1:1), but were unable to achieve the desired success at home (1:3).
Both clubs are still unbeaten in the current CL qualification. On average, the fans of Fradi (2.16 goals per game) and the Stallions (2.5 goals per game) celebrated at least two goals scored by their own team. The average expected goals scored by both sides was 2.16 xG per game.
Ferencvaros Budapest – Qarabag FC Tip
If the hosts want to avenge their third-round exit in 2022, they will have to get their formidable home offense going quickly and at the same time prevent an early goal. The team from the Hungarian capital has scored seven of its nine qualifying goals at home so far.
The most successful attacker in Robbie Keane’s selection is Barnabas Vargas. His four goals in four qualifying games have been of immense importance. In the previous qualifying home game against Ludogorets, the 30-year-old even scored twice.
Despite the high stakes of this match, the scale of the encounter is not new territory for either club. Ferencvaros is participating in the CL qualifiers for the seventh time in a row. Qarabag has even reached the qualifying round (playoffs) for the third time in four years.
We expect two focused teams that have been prepared as well as possible for this encounter. Neither team will leave the field without scoring. If this prediction is correct, you can win 1.83 times your stake at Interwetten.
