Without a doubt, Qarabag is the leading team in Azerbaijan. They boast a hefty 23-point lead over Sabail in the domestic league. Recently, Qarabag has been performing exceptionally well, securing three consecutive wins. In their latest match, they triumphed 4-1 against Neftci Baku on the latter’s home ground. The guests demonstrated their superiority in the second half, where they scored all their goals and clinched another victory. Previously in the Europa League, Qarabag ousted Braga and now, the team from Azerbaijan is aspiring to do the same against Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayer Leverkusen has yet to claim the title of Bundesliga champions. However, this year presents an ideal opportunity, as they currently lead Bayern Munich by ten points. The team has been on a winning streak, securing victories in their last six consecutive matches. In their most recent match against FC Koln, Bayer Leverkusen secured a 2-0 win. FC Koln’s Jan Thielmann was shown a red card in the 14th minute, making it an easier task for Xabi Alonso’s team to notch up a win.

Elvin Cafarquliyev, the left-back for Qarabag, will be absent from Thursday’s match against Bayer Leverkusen due to suspension. Having participated in every Europa League game this season, his absence could have a significant impact. Toral Bayramov is expected to replace Cafarquliyev in the Thursday game. Although Bayramov primarily plays as a right back, he is also capable of covering the left back position.
