Qarabag vs Copenhagen match prediction:
Both teams have shown attacking flair, though defensive reliability hasn't always been their strong suit. Qarabag tend to play boldly at home and almost always create chances, while Copenhagen, with their technically superior players, are also unlikely to leave the pitch without scoring.
This game looks set for an exchange of goals, so the "both teams to score" bet stands out as a strong option.
My prediction: Both teams to score — Yes.
