Qarabag vs Chelsea: Champions League preview

Qarabag will have to shake off a nasty statistic heading into their European clash with Chelsea, having never beaten an English side in their history.

After seven previous attempts, the Azerbaijani giants will hope for a famous night under the lights as they host the current FIFA Club World Cup holders.

Manager Gurban Gurbanov has already masterminded two wins so far this term over Benfica and Copenhagen, but the Blues will pose an entirely different kind of threat.

Qarabag have suffered seven consecutive losses to clubs from England in European games, failing to score in the last six, including two previous meetings with Chelsea in the past.

Those two fixtures were some eight years ago, during the Champions League group stage of the 2017-18 season, when the Azerbaijani club lost 6-0 and 4-0.

Ramil Sheydayev and Joni Montiel will both miss out for the hosts, but it is Chelsea who has the more extensive injury list.

Enzo Maresca's side beat Tottenham 1-0 in their last Premier League outing, and they also have two wins in Europe to boast so far this season.

Wins over Benfica and Ajax have helped rebuild confidence after they lost their opening-night clash against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.

Chelsea remain without the injured Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, Benoit Badiashile and Dario Essugo, while Mykhaylo Mudryk is still sidelined after breaching doping regulations.

Joao Pedro and Liam Delap are both available for selection, after respective suspensions in Europe and in the Premier League, so Maresca has a choice about who he goes with in attack.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Qarabag 0-3 Chelsea

Chelsea should have way too much quality to not break too much of a sweat against the Azerbaijani side and we are expecting another win on the board in Europe for the Blues.
