Chelsea make the lengthy trip to Azerbaijan on Wednesday for their Champions League clash with Qarabağ.
The Blues have won six of their last seven matches in all competitions and bar their slip-up at home to Sunderland, they have been in impressive form. Victories over Benfica and Ajax have come during their recent winning streak, results which have elevated them up the Champions League league phase table after their opening day defeat at Bayern Munich.
Azerbaijan is not a regular venue for Chelsea’s European excursions, but the Blues have faced Qarabağ previously. They fired ten unanswered goals past them during the 2017–18 Champions League group stage, with another thumping victory on the cards on Wednesday.
Having said that, Qarabağ have surprised a few this season. A stunning victory over Benfica in their league phase opener was followed by a home win over Copenhagen, and despite defeat at Athletic Club last time out, Gurban Gurbanov’s side have still made an exceptional start to their European campaign.
Here is guide to the upcoming Champions League clash.
