Arif Asadov: "Sabah" - "Neftchi" game will be interesting"

"The fans are expecting interesting games in the semi-final stage of the Azerbaijan Cup. In addition to these four teams, "Turan Tovuz" is also watching the competition. Their qualification for European Cups depends on the performance of the teams in the cup." These words were said to Sport24.az by Arif Asadov, the former coach of the Azerbaijani national team. The experienced expert first spoke about the "Qarabag" - "Araz-Nakhchivan" duel (first game 0:1): "After a 1:0 victory, the advantage seems to be on the side of Nakhchivan. But we know that "Qarabag" is taking this match more seriously. Their appearance with a stable squad in the last championship matches shows this. I think the chances can be assessed equally. Aghdam also has a home advantage. But you can't always know the results in the cup. A lot will depend on the course of the match." A. Asadov said that the "Sabah" - "Neftchi" match (first game 2:1) is of greater interest: "This match will be more intriguing. Because the fate of the teams depends on the cup. "Sabah" left with a victory from the away match. "Neftchi", on the other hand, will put all their efforts into reaching the final. The home team has a slight advantage, but it is difficult to predict in advance in such matches." It should be noted that the return matches of the semi-final stage will take place on April 23.
