Qarabag FK Form & Team News
Qarabag has a deficit to be canceled after suffering a 3-2 defeat in the first leg in Belfast. They scored the first goal through Faycal Rherras but conceded three before Magaye Gueye consoled from the penalty spot in the second minute of added time.
Qurbanov Forces Qurbanov will feel confident heading into Thursday's game after winning three of their last four home matches. They are given a minimum price of 1.12 by bookies to secure victory but after failing to keep a clean sheet in six of their last nine Europa League matches, additional bets on goals should add more value.
Magaye Gueye played as a substitute for the second half in the first leg and is likely to be included in the initial lineup. He had to be joined in the attack by Mahir Emreli and Abdellah Zoubir, who were also impressed for Qarabag in the last match.
Linfield FC Form & Team News
Linfield held a slight lead to Azerbaijan after claiming a 3-2 victory over Qarabag in the first leg. Shayne
Lavery scored twice after Mark Stafford opened the scoring, although the Northern Ireland team will be disappointed after conceding two away goals.
David Healy's men have no great record in their Europa League journey after claiming only one win in their last six away games. Their poor performance on the road means they are valued at 23.00 for an impossible victory in Baku while a draw is priced at 7.00.
Shayne Lavery has scored four goals in his last three matches in all competitions and is expected to lead the line. He will likely be supported by Bastien Hery and Joel Cooper, who have joined only for one goal in their last 10 appearances.
