We said: HJK Helsinki 1-2 Qarabag FK (Qarabag FK to win 4-2 on aggregate)

HJK Helsinki have no choice but to throw everything at Qarabag as they attempt to turn the tie around, but the hosts' attacking approach will likely leave them exposed at the back. With that in mind, we expect Qarabag to absorb a fair amount of pressure early on before picking their moments to put the contest out of HJK's reach. Read more.
