[Tips]:
Qarabag's performance in this UEFA Champions League has already exceeded expectations. The team have shown impressive offensive firepower in the UEFA Champions League, and their home performances have been excellent. However, they still have significant issues in defense.

AFC Ajax's performance in this UEFA Champions League has been disastrous, losing all 5 matches so far, and they are essentially out of contention for advancement. The team's performance in both offense and defense is completely imbalanced, and their away form is also very limited.

Although AFC Ajax easily won away in the UEFA Europa League last season, the current form of the two teams is completely different.

It will not be easy for the struggling AFC Ajax to keep unbeaten away from home.
