Qarabag host Lincoln Red Imps at the Tofiq Bahranov Stadium in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League second qualification round on Tuesday (July 30). The hosts hold a two-goal advantage in the tie, following a 2-0 away victory in the first leg in Gibraltar last week.
Juninho and Toral Bayramov scored in either half to help their side claim the victory. The White Horse will look to build on their two-goal advantage in front of their fans.
They received a bye to this stage of the Champions League qualifiers, courtesy of their status as Azerbaijan Premier League champions. Lincoln, meanwhile, needed penalties to get here following a 1-1 draw with Hamrun in the last round. A 1-0 away win in Malta was followed by a 1-0 defeat at home and 5-4 victory in the shootout.
The winner of this tie will face Ludogorets or Dinamo Minsk in the third qualifying round.

Qarabag vs Red Imps Prediction
Qarabag are the heavy favourites in this tie and made light work of their opponents in the first leg. They will be expected to complete the job in front of their fans and are unlikely to be challenged by the visitors.
The Red Imps have somewhat overachieved to get to this stage, but this could well be their final stop in the Champions League. They have never advanced beyond this stage of the competition, which is unlikely to change.
Qarabag scored two goals in three previous head-to-head games. Gurban Gurbanov will want his side to finish the game early with one eye on their league title defense, which starts this weekend.
