Although "Shamakhi" won the first match, "Qarabag" is the favorite. The results in the cup may be different." Arif Asadov said this in his statement to Sport24.az.
The experienced specialist Bizon shared his expectations from the "Qarabag" "Shamakhi" match, which will be held as part of the 1/4 final stage of the Azerbaijan Cup:
"Shamakhi" is a team that can surprise any opponent. There may be a sensation in this match. Aykhan Abbasov has achieved results in the teams he has worked for. This season, he drew with "Qarabag" in the championship and won at home. In a word, he knows "Qarabag" well. Also, "Qarabag" has come out of a series of difficult games. I think Gurbanov will make rotations in the meeting. This may be an additional opportunity for "Shamakhi" somewhere. If "Shamakhi" plays compactly in defense and can maximize the chances it catches in counter-attacks, I think it can make a surprise in the cup."
It should be noted that the match to be held today at the Tofig Bahramov Republican Stadium will start at 19:00. In the first match between these teams, "Shamakhi" won with a score of 2:1.
