Qarabag vs Chelsea Predictions, Tips & Latest Odds
Lewis Watson 
Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea face a near 5,000-mile round trip this week as they travel to Azerbaijan to take on Qarabag FK in the Champions League.
Baku has been a happy hunting ground for the Blues in years past. The journey will stir memories of their 4-1 Europa League final victory over Arsenal in 2019, as well as the pair of Champions League wins they recorded against Qarabag the season before.
The Blues arrive in good spirits after edging past Tottenham in a tense derby at the weekend.
Enzo Maresca’s side sit 11th in the giant Champions League table, having recovered from September’s setback in Munich with back-to-back wins over Benfica and Ajax.
Qarabag, meanwhile, aren’t far behind — trailing Chelsea only on goal difference. Their journey began with a shock 3-2 victory over Benfica, a result that proved so seismic it cost Bruno Lage his job and ushered in the return of Jose Mourinho at the Portuguese club.
Since then, the 12-time champions of Azerbaijan have beaten Copenhagen and fallen narrowly to Atletico Madrid. That defeat remains their only blemish in their last 11 outings.
The form book suggests Chelsea will need to be sharp to maintain their momentum in Baku, and we've taken a look at our best tips for Wednesday's clash.
Qarabag vs Chelsea Tips
Here's a look at Free Bets' three top tips for the game.
Tip 1: Chelsea to win and BTTS – 7/4
Maresca will be expected to rotate the side that came away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with another three points on Wednesday, but with a plethora of attacking options at his disposal, don’t expect the goals to dry up for the Blues.
Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens, Estevao and Tyrique George will all be pushing for starts, and if they can strike early then the gulf between these two outfits could become apparent.
But like we mentioned, Qarabag aren’t pushovers at the moment, and with Chelsea still completely unsure about their best centre-back partnership, the hosts could strike.
Still, Chelsea’s firepower — that has seen only Manchester City score more Premier League goals than them this campaign — should be enough to see them through with a BTTS chucked in.
Tip 2: Estevao to score first - 13/2
Estevao is a fan favourite already at Stamford Bridge and will be expecting to start on Tuesday after a brief cameo on Saturday night.
The teenager is fearless in his approach to running at full-backs and getting shots off — he has also proved that he is accomplished from the penalty spot.
Any early chances that fall to the Brazilian are more than likely to be taken.
Tip 3: Tosin Adarabioyo to score and Chelsea to win – 17/2
Tosin Adarabioyo has five goals in a Chelsea shirt already and always looks accomplished as a threat from set pieces.
The tall centre-back will be pushing for a start in Baku, and against weaker opposition will be given the freedom to attack from corners and free-kicks.
He is yet to break his duck for this season, so where better to do it than in the Champions League?
