Most recent H2Hs: First-ever encounter

Qarabag and Lyon go head-to-head for the very first time in their history on Wednesday evening and we’re predicting a close game between the two clubs.

Qarabag preview: Managed just three points from a possible 12

Qarabag might sit top of their domestic league table but the team from Azerbaijan have found it much tougher going in the Europa League.

Qarabag kicked off their Europa League campaign with defeats against Tottenham, Malmo and Ajax before beating Norway’s Bodo/Glimt 2-1 last time out.

Lyon are likely the second toughest team Qarabag have faced in this competition behind Tottenham, and the Premier league side secured a comfortable 3-0 win at home on matchday one.

Predicted lineup: Kochalski (GK), B. Huseynov, A. Huseynov, Medina, Bayramov, Jankovic, Zoubir, Andrade, Kashchuk, Juninho & Addai
