Qarabag vs Chelsea prediction: Match preview, betting odds and tips on November 5, 2025
Champions League
In the 4th round of the main stage of the Champions League, Qarabag will face Chelsea on November 5, 2025. The visitors are clear favorites, but their opponent has surprised many before.
Our Prediction for Qarabag vs Chelsea
Gurbanov and his team have been dominating Azerbaijani football for quite some time. While they currently have no significant lead over their rivals, no one doubts how the championship will end. In London, after a forced change of ownership, Chelsea experienced several unsuccessful years. However, under Maresca, the club managed to return to fourth place in the Premier League, while also winning the Conference League and, in the summer, the Club World Cup. However, without fully recovering, the tight fixture schedule has caused them to drop points in half of their domestic matches.
As usual, the Azerbaijanis started their Champions League campaign from the qualification rounds. This time, they successfully advanced, defeating not only Shelbourne and Shkëndija-79, but also Ferencváros. Moreover, in the group stage, the team from Baku started with wins over Benfica and Copenhagen. They only lost to Athletic Bilbao 1-3, although they had opened the scoring in Bilbao.
The English giants opened with a 1-3 defeat to Bayern in Munich, making numerous defensive errors. They then managed a home win over Benfica only thanks to an own goal, and finally delivered a resounding 5-1 victory over Ajax, though they also conceded in that match.
