For the Qarabag vs Molde prediction, we say this match will end in a draw and this is why. Molde are the better side but because of their poor form in Europe, there’s a chance Qarabag, who are unbeaten at home in their last six games, can get a point off this game.
Prediction: Qarabag 1-1 Molde
We predict both teams to score on Qarabag vs Molde and this is why. Qarabag only managed two clean sheets in their last six home matches while Molde have scored in four of their last five matches across all competitions.
Betting Tip: Both teams to score [BTTS]
Qarabag are unbeaten in their last six home matches across all competitions. They beat HJK at home in their Europa League qualifying stage and enjoyed wins over Turan, Araz-Naxcivan and Sabah. The Azerbaijan giants will look to start their European campaign unbeaten when they host Molde on Thursday evening.
Molde have also struggled in their last few matches. They failed to qualify for the Champions League after they lost back to back to Galatasaray. As a result, they automatically qualified for the Europa League, which will kick-off on Thursday. Molde have won their last two league matches, after the Galatasaray defeats, and will look to maintain that form in the Europa League.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Qarabag: Cafarguliyev, Romao, Andrade, Juninho, Medina, Zoubir, Jankovic, Ramazanov, Bayramov, Benzia, Mustafazada
Molde: Karlstrom, Oyvann, Bjornbak, Hagelskjaer, Haugen, Lovik, Kaasa, Breivik, Hestad, Kitolano, Berisha
