Qarabag vs Dinamo Zagreb Prediction and Betting Tips | August 28th 2024

Qarabag will welcome Dinamo Zagreb to the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League playoffs on Wednesday. The two teams met in the first leg last week in Croatia, with Zagreb recording a 3-0 home win.

Marko Pjaca scored in the first half while substitute Sandro Kulenović bagged a second-half brace.

The hosts' poor form continued in the Azerbaijan Premier League on Saturday as they suffered a 1-0 home loss to Turan. They failed to score for the first time at home in that loss and will look to return to goalscoring ways.

The visitors have enjoyed a 100% record in all competitions this season and extended their winning streak to five games on Sunday with a 2-1 home triumph over Gorica, with Kulenović bagging a brace.
