Qarabag vs Hacken prediction 14.12.2023

• Competition: Europa League
• Date: Thursday, 14th December 2023
• Kickoff: 17:45 UK/18:45 CET
• Venue: Tofiq Bahramov Stadium (Baku)

Qarabag and Hacken have different ambitions in the final Europa League round. Qarabag have seven points so far this season and they have an opportunity to finish second if they stay ahead of Molde (also seven points). Qarabag have an edge because of a better h2h score, but still, it would be much safer to win against Hacken. The Swedish team is last on the table with five losses from five matches, and they will play in the last round for pride and the first points. 

Qarabag are playing well in the last few weeks as they are without a loss in the last five matches in all competitions. In the previous game, Qarabag won 6-1 on the road against Sumqayit. Guests dominated from the start, so Qurban Qurbanov's team picked another big victory. 

Hacken didn't play according to their anticipations in 2023. In the Europa League, they are pointless, while in the Swedish Allsvenskan, Hacken finished third on the table. Hacken had only one official game in the last month. In that game, Hacken lost 2-0 at home against Bayer Leverkusen. Per-Mathias Hogmo's team doesn't have big ambitions in the final Europa League round versus Qarabag, but still, for them, it would be very important not to finish pointless. 

Qarabag vs Hacken pick: Qarabag to win and cover AH -1.5 spread

Qarabag are in impressive form. They scored 16 goals in the last five matches. On the other hand, Hacken allowed 12 goals in the previous five games, including friendlies. Qarabag to win and cover AH -1.5 spread should be the best bet for this tie.
