On Thursday, the first leg of Qarabag’s playoff match in the UEFA Europa Conference League will take place at the Azersun Arena.
After a successful season in the league thus far, the home team will now focus on the continental competition this week. They started their European campaign earlier this year in the Europa League, but they didn’t do well. They won two of their six group games and finished third in the table.
Last year, Qarabag reached this stage of the competition, but Olympique Marseille defeated them 6-1 overall. They will hope for better luck this time around.
Gent had a difficult group stage of the continental championship, winning just one of their first five games and losing the rest. However, they won their final group game 4-0 against Molde, scoring all four goals in the second half, to secure their spot in the playoffs.
Last year, the visitors advanced to the Conference League’s round of 16 and will now aim for a deeper run this year.
