Match Facts

  • Liverpool and Qarabag will meet for the first time in European competition – all three previous meetings between sides from England and Azerbaijan in the UEFA Champions League have been between Qarabag and Chelsea (two wins for Chelsea, one draw).

  • Qarabag lost seven of their first eight meetings with English sides in Europe, but they did avoid defeat in the most recent one in the UEFA Champions League this season (2-2 v Chelsea on MD4).

  • Qarabag have played four previous matches away from home against English sides, losing all four by an aggregate score of 13-1. Their only away game against an English opponent in the UEFA Champions League saw them losing 6-0 against Chelsea, back in September 2017.

  • Since Arne slot took charge of Liverpool in 2024, the Reds are the team with the highest win percentage in the UEFA Champions League (76.5%), winning 13 of their 17 European games under the Dutchman.

  • Qarabag have won the joint-most points from losing positions in the UEFA Champions League this season (7 – level with Barcelona), including coming from behind to win 3-2 against Eintracht Frankfurt in their most recent game in the competition.

  • Liverpool lost their previous European home game, in a 4-1 defeat versus PSV. However, across 117 home games in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League, the Reds have only lost consecutive matches on one previous occasion: 2-1 losses v Lyon and Fiorentina between October and December 2009.

  • Camilo Durán has been directly involved in five goals in seven games for Qarabag in the UEFA Champions League this season (4 goals, 1 assist). His four goals in 2025-26 are twice as many as Qarabag scored as a team in their previous Champions League campaign (2 in 2017-18).
