Qarabag vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction: Who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the UEFA Europe League match which will take place on March 7. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Qarabag

Qarabag approached the Europa League matches against Braga as an underdog. However, the Azerbaijani team confirmed the status of an experienced European Cup fighter. In the first game in Portugal, they won 4:2. In the return game, the team had a hard time - the opponent scored two unanswered goals in the first half and took the match into extra time. There, Qarabag was still more fortunate. First, the rivals exchanged goals, and on 120+2, Nariman Akhundzadeh put Azerbaijanis into the next round - 2:3 (0:2).

In the national championship, Qarabag meets no resistance. Having defeated Neftchi 4:1 on the road in the previous round, the club from Aghdam increased the advantage over all competitors to 23 points.

Bayer Leverkusen

The team is also leading in the league, although, of course, not by the same margin as Qarabag. Nevertheless, a ten-point handicap over second-placed Bayern after 24 Bundesliga rounds is a magnificent achievement. It should be noted that Bayer has not lost once in this stretch—20 wins and 4 draws.

In the Europa League group stage, Bayer also did not lose or even draw, winning all six matches against Qarabag, Molde, and Swedish Hecken with a total goal difference of 19:3.

Expert Betting Tips

Bayer has not suffered a single defeat all season. It was a terrific result, considering that Xabi Alonso's team is playing in one of the best championships in Europe. Qarabag, no matter how good the Azerbaijanis were against Braga, can hardly be defined as a serious competitor for the Bundesliga leader. Most likely, Leverkusen will have no problem getting to the next round. And, quite possibly, the outcome of the confrontation will be decided already after the first game. We bet on a convincing win for Bayer in a result-oriented match - after all, Qarabag can score on their home field, although they will surely concede more in return.
