Azerbaijani side Qarabag will seek to better their recent run when hosting Molde in Group H of the Europa League. The hosts come into this game having lost once in nine, but their last four matches have just a win. After a run for five straight wins, they went on three winless outings, losing once. However, right before this game, they beat Sabah 2-0 and will be motivated for this clash in Baku. One thing that’s undeniable about Qarabag is their scoring ability. They’ve managed at least a goal in each of their nine matches this season. Six times in those nine matches, they’ve scored two or more goals, and five matches had over 2.5 goals. One clean sheet only in the last four matches will however give cause for concern. Both teams have scored in three of their last four matches. It is the same case in three of their last four home games. In the Europa League, Qarabag haven't lost in five, but have just one clean sheet in six. Both teams scored in five of the six matches.

Molde, like Qarabag, are coming from a win, though theirs was the second straight victory, and they’ll seek motivation from that. Eirik Hestad’s brace helped Molde to a 4-1 win over Odd in their last outing. That came after a 2-1 away win over Haugesund. Just as Qarabag, Molde were also eliminated from the Champions League qualifiers, and that's why they are here. They lost home and away to a much stronger Galatasaray. The one positive they take from their recent run is the ability to squeeze in goals. in each of their last four matches they’ve gotten to the score sheet. The concern though, is that they’ve struggled defensively and have no clean sheet in those four games. It is the same scenario away from home. Both sides have scored in the last four matches. Molde have failed to score in just two of their last 10 away matches.
