Qarabag vs Chelsea Prediction and Betting Tips | November 5th 2025

Qarabag will host Chelsea at the Tofiq Bəhramov on Wednesday in the fourth matchday of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League's league phase. The home side are back in the Champions League for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign and have enjoyed a positive return to the tournament, sitting 13th in the table with six points after three games.

The Horsemen picked up impressive wins over Benfica and Danish side Copenhagen in their first two league phase games. However, they suffered their first defeat of the tournament a fortnight ago, losing 3-1 to Athletic Bilbao, with Leandro Andrade opening the scoring in the opening minute before their Spanish opponents came from behind to snatch all three points in the second half.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are in fine form at the moment, most recently beating Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 on the road in the English Premier League, and will be keen to carry that momentum onto the continental stage this week.

They thrashed Ajax Amsterdam 5-1 in their last European outing, with four different players recording their maiden Champions League strikes, including summer arrival Estevão. The Blues, who sit 11th in the table, are level on points with their midweek opponents but could climb into the top eight with a win on Wednesday.

Qarabag vs Chelsea Prediction

Atlılar's latest result ended a run of back-to-back winless outings and they will hope to draw inspiration from that this week. They are, however, massive underdogs heading into Wednesday's game and will rely heavily on their home advantage to perhaps cause an upset.

The London club recorded a sixth win in their last seven outings with their victory over Tottenham on Saturday. They are the stronger side ahead of the midweek clash and should have little trouble winning this one.
