Karabakh

The "Stallions" are not only the best team in Azerbaijan but also the finest representative of Eastern Europe in European competitions this season. While Gurbanov's team failed to qualify for the Champions League, they displayed their best form in the group stage of the Europa League, securing second place in their quartet. In the previous playoff stage, the "Stallions" were not favored in the confrontation against Portuguese side Braga, yet it was Karabakh who progressed. After a 4-2 away victory, Gurbanov's team lost the home leg 0-2 but managed to score twice in extra time despite being reduced to ten men. Karabakh confidently leads the championship, surpassing their rivals by 23 points. In their last match, the "Stallions" defeated Neftchi away with a scoreline of 4-1.

Bayer

Bayer Leverkusen is experiencing its best season in recent years, genuinely contending for victory in several tournaments. In the Bundesliga, the "pharmacists" secured an away victory against Cologne (2-0) last weekend, extending their lead over Bayern Munich to 10 points. It seems highly unlikely that Bayer can be caught, and Germany will finally have a new champion. Furthermore, Leverkusen will compete in the semifinals of the German Cup, where their top opponents have already been eliminated, making Bayer the clear favorites. In the Europa League, the team led by Javi Alonso has won all the matches they've participated in, having topped their group. Thanks to this group stage victory, the "pharmacists" skipped the previous playoff stage. There is no doubt that Javi Alonso's charges will approach the second European trophy with full responsibility, especially considering that many uncertainties have been resolved in the Bundesliga.

Interesting facts about the match and personal meetings

• The teams faced each other twice in the group stage and are familiar with one another. While the "Stallions" struggled at the "BayArena," losing 1-5, they put up a fight against the Germans in the home fixture (0-1).

Karabakh vs Bayer Prediction

Despite all due respect to Karabakh, the favorite in this match is evident. However, the "Stallions" have a chance to breach the opposition's defense, so our bet is "Total Over 2.5" with odds of 1.69.
