Qarabag significantly increases its chances of advancing in the Champions League after defeating Eintracht Frankfurt.

According to Offsideplus.az, the Agdam representative currently sits in 18th place with 10 points and a goal difference of -2. In the final round, Gurban Gurbanov's side will face Liverpool.

If Gurbanov’s team secures a victory in this match, they will qualify for the play-offs regardless of other results. A draw would also be sufficient for the next stage, provided that Napoli and Copenhagen do not achieve high-scoring wins. In the final round, Napoli will host Chelsea, while Copenhagen will travel to face Barcelona.

Should Qarabag suffer a defeat, we would have to look beyond just these two teams and monitor other results as well. The clubs that could potentially overtake the Agdam side in the final round are: Bayer Leverkusen, Monaco, PSV Eindhoven, Athletic Bilbao, and Olympiacos.

We have excluded Marseille (9 points) and Club Brugge (7 points) from this specific list because they face each other; therefore, one of them will inevitably finish below Qarabağ.

In other key matchups:

• Monaco hosts Juventus.

• PSV hosts Bayern Munich.

• Bayer Leverkusen faces Villarreal, who no longer have any stakes in the league.

• Athletic Bilbao meets Sporting CP at home.

• Olympiacos travels to Amsterdam to face Ajax.

According to research and statistical analysis, the probability of Gurban Gurbanov’s men advancing to the next stage is 99.5%. Unless the Agdam representative suffers a heavy defeat against Liverpool, they are expected to qualify. Even in the event of a loss, Qarabağ's chances remain high.

It should be noted that the final matches of the 8th round in the Champions League will kick off simultaneously on the night of January 28 to 29 at 00:00 Baku time.
