Clarifying match details

It seems like the user might be looking for a preview of an upcoming match. I think I should ask for specific details or take a shot at providing a general analytical preview or a tactical analysis without jumping to conclusions. I can't browse for live information due to my settings, so maybe confirming the date and squads would be helpful. The user's preferred verbosity is low, so I need to keep things concise.Analyzing match preview

I can deliver a preview that includes plausible analysis about forms, injuries, tactical setups, key matchups, and the conditions in Baku. Qarabağ usually plays at either the Baku Olympic Stadium or Tofiq Bahramov Stadium. Ajax’s travel to Azerbaijan could be interesting—I'm not sure about the pitch type, though I think it’s grass. Qarabağ's coach is Gurban Gurbanov, and they often utilize formations like 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, with direct wingers like Abdellah Zoubir and Juninho. They also have players like Yassine Benzia and Marko Vešović.Previewing Champions League potential

Shakhrudin Magomedaliyev was previously a goalkeeper, and I think Ramil Sheydayev sometimes plays as a forward for Qarabağ. They had a notable win against Braga in the 2023-24 UEFA Europa League, reaching the Round of 16 before losing to Leverkusen. They tend to be strong at home, so I see why they’re considered a "black horse." Ajax, with John van 't Schip as interim coach in 2023-24, has Francesco Farioli now, who joined in July 2024. There’s uncertainty about Ajax's European participation for 2024-25, especially in the Champions League qualifiers against Qarabağ.Crafting a matchup preview

It looks like the Netherlands coefficient has improved, giving the 2024-25 Eredivisie two UCL group spots and a potential qualifying round three spot. Ajax may face Qarabağ in qualifying two. Given the uncertainty, I think it would be smart to create a matchup preview that covers playing styles, travel considerations, and what Ajax needs to do for their first win. I could make a bullet-list outline, including key storylines, tactical strengths, and suggestions for injuries and win probabilities.

Let's keep it concise, but also informative.Matchup Preview: Ajax vs Qarabağ

Ajax will likely adopt a patient build-up under Farioli, using a 4-2-3-1 formation. It's crucial they control the tempo and avoid turnovers, especially against Qarabağ's threats like Zoubir. A predicted lineup for Ajax includes Ramaj in goal, a backline of Sutalo and Hato, and Sosa at left back. For Qarabağ, Lunev could be in goal, with defensive players like Vešović and Huseynov. The predicted win probabilities lean slightly in Ajax's favor, around 40-30-30. A modest score prediction could be 1-2 Ajax.
