Although "Shamakhi" won the first game, "Qarabag" is the favorite. The results in the cup may be different." This was stated by Arif Asadov in his statement to Sport24.az.
Experienced specialist Bizon shared his expectations from the "Qarabag" - "Shamakhi" match to be held within 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 produced 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 tough games. I think Gurbanov will make rotations in the match. This may be an additional opportunity for "Shamakhi" somewhere. If "Shamakhi" plays compactly in defense and can maximize the chances it will catch 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 game between these teams, "Shamakhi" won with a score of 2:1.
