Elfsborg vs Qarabag Prediction and Betting Tips | 12th December 2024 

Qarabag visit the Boras Arena on Thursday to face Elfsborg for matchday six of the 2024-25 Europa League, looking to pick themselves up from a defeat in their last game. The Azeri outfit were crushed 4-1 by Lyon on matchday five, courtesy of a brace from Georges Mikautadze, coupled with goals from Corentin Tolisso and Malick Fofana.

Juninho pulled a late goal back for the Horsemen from the penalty spot in the 88th minute, but it was too little too late.

With four losses and just one win from five games, Gurban Gurbanov's side are down in 32nd position of the Europa League standings after collecting a meager three points.

Meanwhile, Elfsborg are just a point better off than them, and sit four places above them in the table. The Swedish outfit also have won just once in the campaign thus far: a 1-0 victory over Serie A giants AS Roma on matchday two, secured courtesy of a penalty from Michael Baidoo.

But lately, it hasn't been too rosy for them, as Athletic Bilbao beat them 3-0 in their lastest encounter. The Yellow Ones had their defensive vulnerabilities laid bare in the Basque Country that night, and will have to strengthen their backline to avoid another humiliation.
