Inter Baku – FC Tiraspol

Inter Baku hosts FC Tiraspol in the second leg of the Europa League first qualifying stage. Inter Baku looks to finish the job after they won 3-2 on the road.

The Azerbaijani club had little trouble to defeat Tiraspol in Moldova. Baku led 2-0 in the 10th minute, even led 3-0, but allowed 2 late goals. Today’s hosts had a very good campaign last season and finished 2nd behind big-spending Qarabag. They have a good team, investing money on some decent players with experience in the first 2 leagues of Italy, Spain and France, also some guys with National Team experience and made some transfers this summer as well. We know that Azerbaidjan is an emerging nation in football and they are trying to improve and compete succesfuly in Europe.

FC Tiraspol finished 2nd last year in Moldova but had no chance for the first place against the dominating Sheriff Tiraspol. I can say the level in Moldova has decreased in the last years, the investments are not so big anymore and the results can be seen in European competitions. Tiraspol did not manage to do anything vs. Baku in the first leg despite the Azerbaijani club playing very relaxed after gaining the quick 2-0 advantage. Tiraspol is also weaker than last season, after selling a couple of players, and not many are expecting them to finish Top 2 in Moldova again.

Even if Inter Baku holds a 3-2 advantage, I am sure they will enter this match focused and eager to win. It`s their home opener of the season, the advantage is not so big and they are also warned after receiving 2 goals when they relaxed a little bit in the last 10 minutes in the first leg. Additionally, Azerbaijani clubs are very interested in European competitions and every international game they play is taken very seriously. Taking all these factors into account, I trust the Azerbaijani side to come out with their best display in this one and if that happens, I really can’t see Tiraspol with any chance to get something. There’s a big difference in class here so my tip will be Inter Baku to win with a 1,25 goal asian handicap. I think the odds on this bet are worth a solid investment. Correct score prediction: Inter Baku – FC Tiraspol 3-0.
