From recent form, Qarabag’s state and stability are clearly superior.
Injuries: Specific injury information unknown. However, tactically, CSKA Sofia need to win at home to progress, while Qarabag only need a scoring draw. Qarabag’s tactical depth and squad thickness are usually superior in European qualifiers.
Motivation: This is a do-or-die match deciding qualification to the next round of the Europa League; both sides’ motivation is unquestionable. For CSKA Sofia, this is a crucial stepping stone to the group stage; for Qarabag, as regular European participants with rich experience, advancing is their minimum target.
