Qarabag vs Ajax Prediction & Betting Tips (10 December)

In a mini-championship of 36 teams, no one expected Qarabag, hat 4, to line up in 19th place at the start of this 6th day. With 7 points, the local team is doing as well as Barcelona or Napoli and even better than OM, Juventus and others. It must be said that the Azerbaijanis shocked everyone at the start of the competition by beating Benfica at the Luz 2-3 and then following up at home against Copenhagen 2-0. Back with his feet on the ground against Bilbao 3-1 defeat, Qarabag subsequently hampered Chelsea's progress 2-2. On the other hand, during the previous day, at Napoli, Qarabag could not do better than a defeat without finding the fault 2-0. Last weekend in the championship, Qarabag looked to record a fifth victory in a row against Zira with the result to follow. A few days earlier, it was Karvan at home in the 1/8 final of the Azerbaijan Cup, result to follow.

Much more experienced than their evening opponent in the Champions League, Ajax completely missed out on their competition and remained the only team without a point after 5 games. The results are therefore easy to understand, 5 defeats, against Inter initially 0-2, a correction at the Vélodrome against OM 4-0, manita at Stamford Bridge 5-1, still without a goal for the reception of Galatasaray 0-3 and against Benfica in a match that cut the bottom of the table 0-2. In the Eredivisie, same story for Ajacides, literally dropped in the title race 17 points behind PSV. Before the clashes against Groningen and Fortuna Sittard last week, Ajax had won just one of their last six games in the top flight including two defeats in a row against Utrecht 2-1 and Excelsior 1-2. The Dutch club is unrecognizable. 

Hard blow for midfielder Borges, who was seriously injured against the Chelsea Blues, he was logically removed from the UEFA registration list to participate in the competition since he could only return in February-March at least. He thus joins the non-registered Amin Rzayev and Ramil Sheydayev on the list of excluded players. Uncertainty around the prolific Leandro Andrade, major element of Qarabag's qualification in C1 and this league phase with a total of 6 achievements plus 2 assists (3 goals in qualification - 3 goals in the league phase). Within this section of Ajax, the precious Steven Berghuis (1 goal, 2 assists in the league) has been in care since the beginning of October and should not be back today (groin discomfort). He is accompanied to the infirmary by the former téfécé midfielder, Branco van den Boomen.

From an offensive point of view, only 1 goal scored by Ajax in C1, scored by the giant Wout Weghorst (6 goals in the league). Of course, at the club, we hope that Kasper Dolberg, recently returned from injury, will be up to standard. Arriving from Valladolid this summer, Raul Moro cannot convince. 

• Summary: Qarabağ U19 is going head to head with Ajax U19 starting on 10 Dec 2025 at 11:00 UTC . The match is a part of the UEFA Youth League .
