Roma vs. Qarabag
Champions League Group stage
Date: 27 September 2017; At:20:45
Played on: Baku National Stadium

Qarabag Agdam is the first Azerbaijani team in history to be able to qualify for the Champions League group stage: he did so in August by eliminating the Copenhagen strike. The club has a special history since it was founded in Agdam, Nagorno Karabakh city which after being destroyed by the fighting between Armenian and Azerbaijani armies, now no longer exists.

That is why the team first moved to Baku then to Quzanli near the Nagorno Karabakh border. He plays his international matches at the Olympic Stadium in Baku a facility built in 2015 that holds 70,000 spectators. Two weeks ago he started at the Champions League group wins 6-0 in London from Chelsea.

Roma is favored for tonight since Qarabag is by far the weakest team in Group C but is not favored by the turn of the season. He drew the first game at home against Atletico Madrid and tonight he has to win in order to lose relatively easy points in view of Chelsea's fights. Di Francesco's Roma will play with the usual 4-3-3 but with some more news, starting with Gonalons and Pellegrini midfielders.
