Nantes vs Qarabag Prediction: Qarabag is Focused on UEL

Prediction for the Europa League Nantes vs Qarabag group stage match, which will take place on October 27. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Nantes

Nantes has not performed at the level of the French Ligue 1 for a long time. Last season the Canaries finished in the middle of the standings. Now they are only in 15th place, struggling to retain their place in the elite division. In the Europa League, the Yellow Greens were only because of the victory in the French Cup, but they were not ready for the international arena. Yes, they defeated Olympiacos 2:1 in their first group stage game but lost the next three games 0:9 on aggregate, relegating them to last but one spot in quartet G.

Qarabag

Qarabag has been the strongest team in Azerbaijan in the last decade. They have won eight of their previous nine league titles. Their only defeat came in the 2020/21 season when they took silver. This season, the team is also playing magnificently, with ten wins in ten rounds (31:7). Gurban Gurbanov's charges also look very decent in the Europa League. In the first game, they failed to Freiburg - 1:2. Then there were victories over Nantes and Olympiacos - 3:0 each, as well as a draw with the Piraeus - 0:0, which allows you to go to second place in Group G.

Expert Betting Tips

Both approach the encounter with very different levels of motivation. The Canaries are near the relegation zone, having lost the last three matches, and practically have no chance of making the playoffs. The opponent has won all ten games in the local championship, focusing on the European Cup. The visitors need more points in the upcoming battle.

Nantes in the Europa League isn't solving any serious problems, so they give the reserves a chance to prove themselves. But they return to defense without much desire, conceding an obscene amount of points. In just four meetings with the Canaries have already scored 12 goals (3.00 average). In the upcoming match, these statistics can only worsen, as Qarabag sent them three goals in the first meeting.
