"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 Kerimov said these words in his statement to sport24.az.
The experienced expert shared his expectations from the match between Qarabag and Athletic in Spain in the III round of the League stage of the Champions League:
"The opponent's performance in the domestic championship is not so good. They failed to start successfully in the Champions League. Central defenders look heavy in CL games. True, 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 of the first two games on the field. Nariman's entry into the game in the second half will add strength to Qarabag's strength. Considering all this, we will have goal 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 football player in the team who carries the ball with him and knows how to defend aggressively."
It should be noted that the starting whistle of the Athletic - Qarabag match to be held today will be sounded at 20:45 Baku time.
