Welcome to the live broadcast of the fourth matchday of the UEFA Champions League league phase, where the champions of Azerbaijan, Qarabağ FK, host London's Chelsea at the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium in Baku. For the hosts, this is a historic opportunity to play against a European giant at home, and for the visitors, it's an important step towards the knockout stages.
Kick-off: November 5, 2025, 17:45 UTC (20:45 MSK) Stadium: Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium, Baku Competition: UEFA Champions LeagueQarabağ vs Chelsea: Match Preview
Both teams come into this head-to-head clash with six points from their first three matches. Qarabağ has been one of the surprises of the tournament's opening stages, securing sensational victories over Benfica (3-2) and Copenhagen (2-0), before falling to Athletic Bilbao (1-3) in the last round. Chelsea, under Enzo Maresca, bounced back from an away defeat to Bayern Munich (1-3) with two home wins against Benfica (1-0) and Ajax (5-1). The history of encounters between these teams is heavily in favor of the English side: in the 2017/18 season, the Blues thrashed Qarabağ twice with a combined score of 10-0 (6-0 and 4-0).
Team Form and Analysis
Qarabağ
Gurban Gurbanov's team is the undisputed leader of Azerbaijani football and is known for its resilience at home. The 'Horsemen' have already proven they can cause upsets in this Champions League campaign. Their only defeat in the last 11 matches came against Athletic Bilbao. The team approaches the match without any major injury concerns, which is an added advantage.
Chelsea
The Londoners are in fine form, having won six of their last seven matches, including a derby victory over Tottenham last weekend. Baku is a happy hunting ground for Chelsea, as it was here they won the 2019 Europa League final, thrashing Arsenal. However, Enzo Maresca has some personnel issues: Cole Palmer and Benoît Badiashile will miss the match due to injury, along with long-term absentees Levi Colwill and Dário Essugo. It is expected that the manager may rotate his squad ahead of important Premier League fixtures.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Official lineups will be confirmed one hour before kick-off.
- Qarabağ (4-2-3-1): Kochalski; Silva, Mustafazade, Medina, Jafarguliyev; Bicalho, Janković; Kashchuk, Andrade, Zoubir; Akhundzade.
- Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sánchez; Gusto, Adarabioyo, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Lavia; Estêvão, Fernández, Gittens; Delap.
Match Prediction by tutsport.net
Chelsea are the clear favorites for this encounter, despite the long flight and potential squad rotation. The gulf in class between the teams is enormous, as confirmed by their previous meetings. Qarabağ can cause problems at home, but it is unlikely they will be able to take points from a motivated English club.
- Main Prediction: Chelsea to Win with a (-1.5) Handicap. The Blues will want to secure their qualification for the next stage as soon as possible and are likely to claim a comfortable victory.
- Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Chelsea scores a lot, and Qarabağ has shown they can also play attacking football. Five of the Londoners' last six matches have seen more than 2.5 goals.
