Qarabag’s recent form shows mixed results, with varying outcomes in domestic and European competitions. In their last five games, they have achieved three wins and one draw and have suffered one defeat, averaging 2 goals per match both scored and conceded. At home, Qarabag have been very solid defensively, keeping clean sheets in all of their last five in all competitions, including a 2-0 win over FC Copenhagen in this competition. Over 2.5 goals haven't been scored in any of their last five home games, while BTTS hasn't occurred in any of those five matches either.
Chelsea come into this fixture in decent form. Their last five contests have seen four wins contrasted by just one defeat, conceding goals in three of those games but managing a clean sheet in two. Chelsea's last five games in all competitions have averaged four goals per game, while their games in this competition have averaged 3.67 goals per game, contributing to two wins and one defeat. Chelsea's away form is very good, with the Blues winning all of their last four games on the road, keeping clean sheets in two of their last three.
The head-to-head history between Qarabag and Chelsea is limited, with only two previous Champions League encounters in 2017. Chelsea won both meetings convincingly, 6-0 at home and 4-0 away, highlighting a clear domination in those fixtures.
It's hard to see Chelsea losing this game in the form they're in, and while Qarabag might put up a good account of themselves, the Blues should take all three points.
Qarabag 0-2 Chelsea
