Qarabağ vs Ajax — Champions League, 10 December 2025

Azerbaijani champions Qarabağ host Dutch giants Ajax in a pivotal Champions League league phase clash – both desperate for points.

Introduction

Qarabağ are punching above their weight in Europe and need a result to keep knockout dreams alive, while Ajax are in a rough patch and can’t afford more slips. The Tofiq Bahramov Stadium will be packed and passionate, with the home crowd making it tough for the visitors.

Qarabağ set up compact and look to hit on the break, while Ajax aim to control possession and build patiently – home side could frustrate the Dutch.

Ajax: inconsistent lately with losses and draws, struggling defensively.

Home vs Away Form

Qarabağ at home: tough to beat, keeping clean sheets and scoring steadily.
