SLIEMA – KHAZAR LANKARAN : PREDICTIONS

Europe League fixtures again and this match sees us visit the Maltese national stadium in Ta Qali. It is the setting for Sliema against Azerbaijan side Khazar Lankaran.

Sliema finished the Malatese league in 4^th position, 9 points behind winners Birkirkara. Sliema have won the league a record 26 times but not since 2005. In European competition the Maltese have had very little success. Indeed in 70 games they have only managed 12 wins, 5 draws and have lost 53. They have only managed to progress through a 2 legged tie four times in their long history. Sliema will play the game at the national stadium but this will be no disadvange as almost all Maltese Premier League games are played here.

Khazar Lankaran qualified for the Europa League due to finishing runners up in the National Cup, a game they only lost on penalties to league champions Neftchi Baku. In the league Khazar finished a disappointing 9^th of 12 and were way off the pace. Indeed they were in the relegation segment. This side has only been in existence since 2004 but do have an Azerbaijan title to their name. The side are awash with “new money” as a rich oligarch Mubariz Mansimov continues to pump his money into the side. New manager John Toshack has taken his time to get settled but has been allowed to purchase in the international transfer market. Players from all across the globe have joined with a handful of Brazilians, Romanians and Spanish amongst others all make themselves available.  Khazar Lankaran have not had a great run in European competition and have a pitiful record. With 14 games played they have 1 win, 6 draws and 7 defeats. They have faced some decent opposition in some of these games though so its not too bad. Hard fought games against Dinamo Zagreb,Lech Poznan and Maccabi Tel Aviv with close games in all.

SLIEMA – KHAZAR LANKARAN: BETTING TIPS

The odds are short on the visitors here, averaging out at around 1.50. Khazar Lankaran has little pedigree in Europe but have not really been shamed over the past few years. Sliema are consistently poor and this year’s side is not a patch on year’s gone by. The team is a mid-table side in Maltese league and that’s poor. The away side have bolstered their team with players from all over the place and in John Toshack have a manager who has won a La Liga with Real Madrid amongst other things. Khazar Lankaran (1.51 Betsson) are taken to prove superior to their Maltese opponents in a game that should be straightforward enough.
