Aslan Karimov said that "Qarabag" can bring 1 point from the game with "Athletic"

"My expectations from the game between "Qarabag" and "Athletic" are positive. After the first two games, we can think about a point or points in this match." Aslan Karimov said this in his statement to Sport24.az.

The experienced expert shared his expectations from the game between "Qarabag" and "Athletic" in Spain in the III round of the League stage of the Champions League:

"The opponent is not doing so well in the domestic championship. They failed to start successfully in the Champions League. Central defenders look heavy in Champions League games. It is true that "Athletic" is a team that plays with high pressing with 4-4-2. They try to squeeze their opponents, they play deep. Therefore, they fall into risky situations. Our wingers are very fast. Nariman Akhundzade's performance in recent matches is encouraging. Gurban Gurbanov will probably put the starting lineup from the first two games on the field. Nariman's entry into the game in the second half will add strength to "Qarabag". Taking all this into account, we will have scoring opportunities in front of the opponent's goal. On the other hand, this is the Champions League. If we leave gaps in defense, it will be difficult. I think we can bring 1 point from Bilbao. Marko Jankovic's return from injury is good news. It is important to have a player in the team who can carry the ball with him and defend aggressively."

It should be noted that the starting whistle of the "Athletic" - "Qarabag" match, which will be held today, will be sounded at 20:45 Baku time.
