Qarabag beat Benfica and Copenhagen in their first two games before a 3-1 defeat at Athletic Bilbao
Chelsea have also won two of their first three Champions League matches
Recommended bet: Over 3.5 goals
Qarabag produced a stunning comeback on matchday one of the Champions League, roaring back from 2-0 down to beat Benfica 3-2 in Lisbon.
The champions of Azerbaijan also won their first home fixture, seeing off Copenhagen 2-0, but they face a tough test against Chelsea on Wednesday.
The Blues lost 3-1 against a rampant Bayern Munich side in their European opener but they should be in good spirits after thrashing Ajax 5-1 on matchday three and winning 1-0 at Tottenham in the Premier League last weekend.
Team news
Qarabag's only injury concern is over striker Musa Gurbanli, who is struggling with a knee injury. Nariman Akhundzada and Camilo Duran are vying for a start up front in a 4-2-3-1 formation for the hosts.
Chelsea's Cole Palmer, Benoit Badiashile and Dario Essugo miss the trip to Azerbaijan along with long-term injury absentee Levi Colwill.
Striker Liam Delap is available after serving a domestic suspension in Saturday's win at Tottenham.

Prediction
Qarabag and Chelsea have both made strong starts to their Champions League campaigns but the Blues are expected to outclass their hosts in Baku on Wednesday.
Enzo Maresca's men lost 3-1 at Bayern Munich in a brutal opening fixture before defeating Jose Mourinho's Benfica 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on matchday two.
They turned on the style in a 5-1 win over Ajax and look set for another high-scoring clash with Qarabag.
Five of the hosts' last six European outings have produced over 3.5 goals and the exception was a 2-0 home win over Copenhagen on matchday two, when both teams hit the woodwork.
Chelsea have won six of their last seven matches but they remain fragile at the back, losing 2-1 at home to Sunderland in the Premier League before a chaotic 4-3 win at Wolves in the Carabao Cup.
Maresca was unimpressed by his side's lack of discipline at Molineux, where they led 3-0 at half-time, and Saturday's 1-0 success at Tottenham owed more to Spurs's lack of creativity than Chelsea's defensive qualities.
Qarabag's Camilo Duran and Leandro Andrade were excellent in the 3-2 win over Benfica, where Kady Borges also struck the post.
Andrade gave them a first-minute lead in Bilbao on matchday three before Athletic came back to win 3-1 and over 3.5 goals looks a solid bet again.
