Qarabag vs Molde Prediction

Qarabag host Molde in the first round of the 2023/24 UEFA Europa League group phase on Thursday evening in Baku.

The hosts managed to return to winning ways after three consecutive winless outings in all competitions by beating Sabah 2-0 on Sunday.

Qurban Qurbanov’s men still sit five points shy of leaders Zira at the top of the Azerbaijani Premyer Liqa standings after six rounds of the competition.

Qarabag are currently looking much better in defense as four of the last five outings they played across competitions ended with fewer than three goals scored.

Knowing how important this match against Molde is for both teams’ ambitions in this group, we can hardly expect an open affair packed with chances on both ends on Thursday.

Molde, on the other side, suffered the Champions League elimination to Turkish Galatasaray, losing both playoffs ties and conceding five goals in the process.

On a positive note, they’ve improved domestic form, going unbeaten in ten subsequent matches in Eliteserien.

Erling Moe’s men demolished Odd 4-1 on the home patch on Saturday afternoon.

Latest Meetings

These two outfits battled it out just once in the past.

It happened in the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round when Molde advanced on penalties after a goalless stalemate in the regular time.

The Verdict

This should be a tight affair with both teams’ paying more attention at keeping things quiet at the back rather than seeking a goal. This is why we will go for the Under 2.5 goals FT bet at the 1.80 odds as the main betting option.

We haven’t seen many chances at all in the previous H2H encounter between these rivals (also a very important match) and we will be brave enough to back a goalless draw at the sky-high 10.00 odds.
