Qarabag VS Dinamo Zagreb

Qarabag welcome Dinamo Zagreb for this UEFA Champions League 4th – and last – round of Qualification second leg battle at Tofiq Bahramov Stadium in Baku very early Thursday morning Beijing time. Football enthusiasts and us serious bettors – with a long-term profit in mind can expect a match of somewhat mediocre quality by this competition's 4th round standards here. Most importantly, we have yet another very lucrative betting opportunity! The visitors are a Croatian team, the hosts come from Azerbaijan. Let's take a closer look at this fascinating game betting-wise...

Dinamo won the first leg 3-0 last week. Qarabag seemed to lack concentration in this game and were far from their best level. Yes, Dinamo deserved to win but the final score does not reflect the actual events on the pitch! Indeed, Qarabag had 52% ball possession and also recorded more corner kicks, shots off goal, total passes, completed passes, attacks and dangerous attacks – 62-44 to be precise. The Croatians did record two more goal attempts on goal though – 20-18. The expected goals (xG) numbers were 2.33-1.57 in Dinamo's favour. Qarabag are known as a very strong home team in international competitions. Indeed, I do not believe for one second that the hosts have given up the fight despite having a very slim chance of qualifying.. Dinamo can lose this game by a margin of two goals and still qualify.. I want to highlight that this affects the probabilities significantly here! The Croatians will surely not want to just "enter the pitch and try to play cautious, risk-free football – ie. aim at not allowing Qarabing to take the lead, which would surely boost the enthusiastic home fans, but there is long-term data suggesting that - in reality - this very often impossible to avoid! In most 2nd leg matches the team trailing – by a margin of one, two – or let alone three goals - has a significantly higher goal expectancy than they would have if the score were level.. A want to give a few examples of this: Last season, in the UEFA Europa League Playoffs, AC Milan easily beat Rennes at home 3-0 at home in the first leg. Rennes won the second leg. Furthermore, Marseille crushed Villarreal 4-0 at home, but the Spaniards won the 2nd leg 3-1. As Roma crushed Brighton 4-0 in the 1st leg at home but Brighton won at home.. In these games all the team that had won the 1st leg seemed to care about was qualification, not the second leg result! Dinamo are not at their best when defending – especially against formidable opponents away from home so I expected the fire-up hosts will be extremely aggressive here right from the kickoff, hopefully scoring a quick 1-0 igniting the stadium. Dinamo will probably defend with 10 or even all 11 men as long as they lead on aggregate, taking very few offensive risks.. Of course they can score from counter attacks in transitions but even if they were to score once Qarabag still have a good chance of winning.. The hosts have no reported absentees here! As for Dinamo, Perkovic is out due to a knee injury. Moharrami and Peric are questionable. With the expected lineups - taking the aggregate score and huge home advantage into account - I see the hosts having a 55.50% chance of winning after 90 minutes of play. Odds of close to 2.00 are available with the biggest bookmakers.

Qarabag defeated a dangerous Bulgarian team, Ludogorets, 8-4 on aggregate in the 3rd round of qualification. In the first leg they – again lacked concentration – I would say they were somehow overly excited which resulted in them at times being too aggressive and careless with the ball. They lost the game 1-2. They were in a very tricky situation in the second leg but won 3-2 after 90 minutes of play – despite trailing 1-2 at halftime. In the extra time they scored four(!) unanswered goals! They recorded many more goal attempts (16-9), shots on goal (11-3), attacks and dangerous attacks. This was the best performance from Qarabag in a long time! Last season they were very close to eliminating the hottest team in Europe at the time, and the eventual champions of Germany, Bayer Leverkusen, in the UEFA Europa League Playoffs as huge underdogs. Leverkusen's P. Shick scored two goals in the injury time in the second leg – securing a narrow 5-4 win on aggregate. Qarabag are, in all honesty, a bit of a "hot and cold team" – meaning that the difference between a good day and bad day is bigger than say with Sparta Prague or Young Boys – two teams that qualified yesterday (local time). Dinamo beat Gorica 2-1 at home in their last game as huge favourites on the betting market. It was a solid performance but the opponent was also very weak in this match.. They have won all four games in the pretty lowly Croatian HNL this season. However, there are only a few good teams in this league with a total of 10 clubs. Qarabag have won two of the three matches in the Azerbaijani Premier League this season. They lost to Turan in their last game 0-1 at home but were the better team on the pitch, recording many more goal attempts (12-8), corner kicks, attacks and dangerous attacks – 78-31. Their excellent head coach Q. Qurbanov, as expected, did some squad rotation in this game ahead of the massive game against Dynamo. I will not give the unlucky defeat much emphasis.

卡拉巴格VS萨格勒布迪纳摩

北京时间周四凌晨，卡拉巴队将在巴库的托菲克·巴拉莫夫体育场迎接萨格勒布迪纳摩队参加欧冠第四轮也是最后一轮资格赛次回合的战斗。足球爱好者和我们这些着眼长远利益的认真投注者，可以期待一场以第四轮比赛的标准来看质量有些平庸的比赛。最重要的是，我们还有另一个非常有利可图的赌博机会!客队是克罗地亚队，主队是阿塞拜疆队。让我们来仔细看看这个迷人的游戏。

迪纳摩上周以3比0赢得首回合比赛。卡拉巴格在这场比赛中似乎缺乏注意力，远远没有达到他们的最佳水平。是的，迪纳摩应该获胜，但最终的比分并不能反映球场上的实际情况!事实上，卡拉巴格有52%的控球率，并且有更多的角球、射门、总传球、完成传球、进攻和危险进攻——准确地说是62比44。克罗地亚队的战绩是20胜18负。迪纳摩的预期进球数是2.33-1.57。卡拉巴在国际比赛中被认为是一支非常强大的主队。事实上，尽管出线的机会非常渺茫，但我一点也不相信东道主已经放弃了战斗。迪纳摩可能以两球的差距输掉这场比赛，但仍然晋级。我想强调的是，这对概率的影响很大!克罗地亚人肯定不希望“一上场就踢谨慎、无风险的足球”。目的是不让卡拉宾领先，这肯定会刺激热情的主场球迷，但有长期数据表明，在现实中，这往往是不可避免的!在大多数次回合比赛中，落后的球队——一球、两球，更不用说三个球——比比分持平时的进球预期要高得多。A想举几个例子:上赛季欧联杯季后赛，AC米兰首回合主场3-0轻松击败雷恩。雷恩赢了第二回合。此外，马赛在主场4比0击败比利亚雷亚尔，但西班牙人在第二回合以3比1获胜。罗马在首回合主场4-0击败布莱顿，但布莱顿主场获胜。在这些比赛中，所有赢得首回合比赛的球队似乎都关心的是资格，而不是次回合的结果!迪纳摩在防守方面并没有达到最佳状态，尤其是在客场面对强大的对手时，所以我希望从开球开始，热情高涨的东道主就会非常有侵略性，希望能迅速打进1-0，点燃整个球场。迪纳摩可能会用10人防守，甚至11人防守，只要他们总比分领先，进攻风险很小。当然，他们可以在过渡阶段通过反击得分，但即使他们一次得分，卡拉巴格仍然有很好的获胜机会。这里没有报告的主人缺席!至于迪纳摩，佩尔科维奇因膝伤缺阵。莫哈拉米和佩里克值得怀疑。根据预期的阵容——考虑到总比分和巨大的主场优势——我认为主队在90分钟后获胜的可能性为55.50%。最大的博彩公司的赔率接近2.00。

在资格赛第三轮，卡拉巴格队以总比分8-4击败了危险的保加利亚球队卢多戈雷茨队。在第一回合的比赛中，他们仍然缺乏注意力，我想说他们在某种程度上过于兴奋，这导致他们有时过于激进，对球粗心大意。他们以1比2输了这场比赛。他们在第二回合的情况非常棘手，但在比赛90分钟后以3-2获胜，尽管半场落后1-2。在加时赛中，他们进了四球(!)他们的进球次数(16-9次)、射正次数(11-3次)、进攻和危险进攻都更多。这是卡拉巴在很长一段时间里最好的表现!上个赛季，他们在欧联杯季后赛中差点淘汰当时欧洲最炙手可热的球队，以及最终的德国冠军勒沃库森。勒沃库森的P.西克在第二回合的伤停补时阶段连进两球，以5:4的总比分险胜。说实话，卡拉巴格是一支“冷热两重天”的球队，也就是说，比起昨天(当地时间)出线的两支球队——布拉格斯巴达队和年轻男孩队，他们表现好坏的差别更大。迪纳摩在上一场比赛中主场2-1击败戈里察，成为博彩市场上的热门球队。这是一场很好的比赛，但是对手在这场比赛中也很弱。他们赢得了全部四场比赛

本赛季在相当低级的克罗地亚HNL的比赛。然而，在这个联赛中只有少数几支优秀的球队，总共有10家俱乐部。卡拉巴在本赛季阿塞拜疆超级联赛的三场比赛中赢了两场。他们在上一场比赛中主场0-1不敌图兰，但在球场上表现更好，他们的进球次数(12胜8负)、角球次数、进攻和危险进攻次数都更多(78胜31负)。正如所料，他们出色的主教练Q. Qurbanov在与迪纳摩的重要比赛前进行了一些阵容轮换。我不会过多强调不幸的失败。
