Insight
The second round of Champions League qualifying begins this week with League of Ireland champions Shamrock and NIFL Premiership winners Linfield still in contention after defeating Hibernians and The New Saints.
The two have unenviable second-round ties, however, with Europa League regulars Ludogorets standing in the way of Shamrock, while Linfield will face last season’s Conference League quarter-finalists Bodo/Glimt.
But one team that could make a splash in the second round is Qarabag, who seem like a good bet to beat FC Zurich.
The Azerbaijani champions missed out on Champions League qualification for the first time in seven years last season but seem determined to make amends.
Brazilian attacking midfielder Kady scored five Europa Conference League goals last season and was back last week, scoring twice as Qarabag managed to overturn a 1-0 first leg deficit and the United a first-minute goal in the second leg to defeat Polish side Lech Poznan.
And Gurban Gurbanov’s men did it in style, scoring five goals in response to win 5-2.
The Azerbaijani side are a serious proposition in Baku, having only lost to Marseille in their last 31 home games, and could upset Zurich, who lost their Swiss Super League opener 4-0 to the Young Boys last weekend.
Pyunik FC are also worth backing at home at 11-10 when they host F91 Dudelange.
The Armenians pulled off an impressive shock in the first qualifying round, beating Romanian champions CFR Cluj on penalties and facing a Dudelange side who were beaten 4-0 by League of Ireland Bohemians in qualifying of the Europa Conference League last season.
