Qarabag continues to confidently deal with the rivals in the domestic arena. However, the performance in the Europa League frankly did not go well. Having played a very good quality match against Tottenham, they managed to lose (0:3), although they seriously outperformed Spurs in xG (2.01 vs. 1.20). An unexpected home from Malmo put the club’s prospects in the tournament in serious doubt.
Ajax is slowly gaining form. The team is still too early to think about the highest places and former stability, but the progress is already visible. It is almost impossible to fight PSV in the Eredivisie, but third place with a couple of games to spare is a great result. The main stage of the Europa League has started at a good level. In the first round they managed to defeat Besiktas without a chance, in the second round they defended a draw away against Slavia, which right now look amazing.
