2022 Champions League qualifying will see Qarabag FK take on Lech Poznan this week at Azərsun Arena in their second leg fixture. Match day schedules for July 12 at 19:00 EAT.
The hosts have participated in 18 editions of UEFA competitions – including seven times in the Champions League, 13 in the UEFA Cup or Europa League, and two in the Cup Winners’ Cup. They are currently the domestic champions having returned to first place in the Azerbaijan Premier League last term, after failure to claim the title for the first time in eight years.
Qarabağ prepare for this meeting hoping for better results after 1-0 UCL Qualifiers defeat at the hands of Lech Poznań in their previous match.
Meanwhile, with a slim advantage from last week’s first leg, Lech Poznan will fancy their chances of taking one step closer to the glory on Tuesday. After celebrating the club’s 100th anniversary by lifting the Ekstraklasa trophy for the eighth time, under former boss Maciej Skorza, Lech are now aiming to make an impact on Europe.
Since the turn of the century, Lech Poznan have only four Europa League or UEFA Cup group appearances to show for their efforts, with a solitary knockout phase qualification in 2011 being curtailed at the last-32 stage.
