Qarabag vs Dudelange – Prediction (Europa League – 12.12.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Both Qarabağ and Dudelange’s European adventure ends after this match, with neither able to qualify for the knockouts regardless of the final result. Although on a six-game unbeaten run at home (W3, D3 – in all competitions), Qarabağ seek their first home win of this year’s UEFA Europa League (UEL) group stage campaign (D1, L1). The hosts have at least opened the scoring in their last six games here, four times before the 20th minute. The three wins during that period came ‘to nil’, as have nine of Qarabağ’s last 11 UEL home victories.

Dudelange have suffered four straight UEL defeats by at least a two-goal losing margin, and have conceded an average of 3.4 goals per UEL group stage game, whilst scoring an average of 1.4. In fact the visitors have conceded at least three goals in all five of their previous UEL group stage away games. The 15-time Luxembourg champions travel here on a three-game away winning streak (in all competitions), and have seen seven of their last nine competitive road trips produce over 2.5 goals (W6, L3). Furthermore, only one of their last 23 away games finished in stalemate.

Players to watch: Qarabağ’s Dani Quintana netted the opener last time out – he’s scored the first goal in four of the six competitive games he’s got on the scoresheet this term. Antoine Bernier scored the opener in Dudelange’s last away game – however his last two UEL goals have come after half-time.

Stat attack: Four of Qarabağ’s last five UEL games have seen a goal on or after the 85th minute. There’s been a first-half penalty in all three previous H2Hs. Five of Dudelange’s last seven UEL defeats saw both teams score.
