This game would see Arsenal look to continue their impressive start to the season against a Qarabag side that has been building a reputation as regulars in European group stage competitions.
Arsenal are heavy favourites for this game, but Qarabag have been impressing especially at home since the 2014/2015 season and they would be looking to show Unai Emery’s men that they are no pushovers.
Qarabag held Atletico Madrid to a draw both home and away in the Champions League group stages last season, and in recent past, they have taken points from Monaco, Inter Milan, Anderlecht, and PAOK. They also come into this game in good form having won 5 of their last 6 games in all competition, so they would certainly be up for a fight in this game.
Arsenal come into this game on the back of a seven-game winning streak as they seem to finally be taking Unai Emery’s lessons on how to play to heart.
However, it is worth noting that their last four games have all been played at home and they have won away games only at struggling Newcastle and Cardiff City this season.
Gunners did not win three of their seven away trips last season, and Qarabag have lost just three times at home in the Europa League since the 2014/2015 season, so the home side would feel they have a good chance of getting something from this game.
