Qarabag vs Ajax: Champions League Main Round Matchday 6

Qarabag vs Ajax: Match Overview
Qarabag continue to dominate domestically, securing yet another league title in the spring and gradually pulling clear of their competitors this season as well. Ajax, on the other hand, were close to winning the Eredivisie last season but collapsed at the decisive moment, allowing PSV to retain the title. Francesco Farioli left after that failure, and under John Heitinga, the new season has spiraled into complete disappointment.
Our Prediction for Qarabag vs Ajax
For only the second time in their history, Qarabag successfully passed the Champions League qualification stage. They eliminated Shelbourne, Shkëndija-79, and Ferencváros. Even more impressively, they opened the main stage with victories over Benfica and Copenhagen. While they haven’t matched those highs since, after defeats to Atletico and Napoli, Qarabag earned a valuable 2-2 draw against Chelsea.
Ajax, meanwhile, are experiencing one of the worst European campaigns in their history. They have scored only once—against Chelsea, where they were still thrashed 1-5. In matches against Inter, Marseille, Galatasaray, and Benfica, Ajax lost every game without scoring a single goal.
