Arne Slot’s side saw their 13-match unbeaten run come to an abrupt end at the Vitality Stadium against Bournemouth, but with qualification still firmly in their own hands, attention now turns to finishing the league phase strongly and securing a top-eight finish.
Six-time European champions Liverpool begin matchday eight in fourth place and know a victory would guarantee automatic progression to the last 16.
Their visitors Qarabag also arrive with history on the line, as the Azerbaijani champions aim to become the first club from their country to reach the Champions League knockout rounds.

Dominik Szoboszlai to play 1+ shot on target
Dominik Szoboszlai has emerged as one of Liverpool’s most influential players in Europe under Arne Slot, and his Champions League numbers are outstanding.
The Hungarian midfielder has scored four goals in his last five UCL appearances, while also registering at least one shot in each of his previous seven matches, many of them from outside the box.
He leads Liverpool this season in goals, assists, chances created and progressive carries in the competition, and with Qarabag expected to defend deep, Szoboszlai’s willingness to shoot from range makes 18/25 for a shot on target a strong betting option.
Tip: Dominik Szoboszlai to have 1+ shot on target @ 18/25
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Dominik Szoboszlai plays at least one shot on target against Qarabag.
Over 2.5 goals
Goals have been a recurring theme in Qarabag’s European matches this season, with eight of their last ten European games producing over 3.5 goals.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have seen just three of their last 13 matches decided by a margin of two goals or more, suggesting competitive but open encounters. Qarabag have also collected a joint-competition high seven points from losing positions, highlighting both their attacking intent and defensive vulnerability.
With Liverpool needing a win and Qarabag chasing qualification, over 2.5 goals at 33/100 looks well supported.
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are three or more goals in the game between Liverpool and Qarabag.
Both teams to score
Despite Liverpool’s dominance at Anfield, clean sheets have not been guaranteed. Five of their last seven home games saw both teams score, and the Reds were beaten 4-1 by PSV in their most recent European home fixture.
Qarabag have found the net in six of their seven league phase matches and boast a dangerous outlet in Camilo Duran, who has been directly involved in five Champions League goals this season.
With Liverpool’s defence stretched by injuries and Qarabag needing a result to secure a top-24 finish, backing both teams to score at 11/10 offers incredible value.
Tip: Both teams to score @ 11/10
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Liverpool and Qarabag both score at least one goal each.
