HJK – Qarabag : Preview & Prediction
Despite dominating possession, the Finnish club HJK came very close to drawing in Baku were it not for Juninho’s decisive goal in the 85th minute (2-1). This second leg remains wide open, and HJK can count on the support of their Bolt Arena fans, where Korkeakunnas’ charges have won 5 of their last 6 matches. At home, the current 2nd in the Finnish league has just beaten Larne (1-0), IIves (1-0), Molde (1-0) and Mariehamn (4-2). A 5th win in a row against the Azerbaidjan club? Qarabag notched up another success after a fine 3-0 league win over HJK in Turan on August 13. Juninho scored again to open the scoring for his team. But Qarabag know their position is fragile, having failed to qualify for the Champions League against Rakow (3-2 and 1-1) in late July/early August. Qarabag must be wary of this trip to Finland and a European elimination!
