Qarabag Preview
Qarabag comes into this match with an impressive 13-match unbeaten run. The team has not suffered a defeat since October 27, 2022, when they lost to Nantes in the UEFA Europa League. Unfortunately, that match sealed their elimination from that competition and their passage to the Conference League.
The local team top scorer this season is Musa Gurbanly, who registers 16 goals in the local tournament in 22 games.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Shahrudin Mahammadaliyev; Marko Vesovic, Badavi Hüseynov, Bahlul Mustafazada Toral Bayramov; Qara Qarayev, Marko Jankovic Kady Borges; Abdellah Zoubir, Ramil Sheydaev, Musa Gurbanly.

Gent has performed well as visitors in the Belgian league, winning five, drawing three and losing five, scoring 24 goals and conceding 17.

JefeBet Prediction
Qarabag arrives in a sensational moment and a 13-game unbeaten streak never ceases to amaze, regardless of the league they play in. At JefeBet we believe that this streak will be extended to 14 matches, as the locals will win a tight match against the Belgian team.
