Qarabag FK enters the decisive second leg in Sofia backed by clinical form and unmatched European pedigree. Qurban Qurbanov’s squad comes in on a seven-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, having recently dismantled IF Vestri 6-0 on aggregate. While CSKA Sofia boasts solid home organization, Qarabag holds the definitive edge in big-stage composure—carrying the experience of 20 combined Champions League and Europa League campaigns into this fixture. Coupled with a strong away record (six wins in their last 12 on the road) and a fully fit squad featuring creative sparkplugs Kady and Marko Jankovic, Qarabag possesses the tactical maturity and depth to control the tempo, exploit the hosts, and extend their unbeaten run.
