British press analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the teams before the "Qarabag" - "Newcastle" match

This season, "Qarabag" proves that the name of the opponent is not interesting for them in the games they play in Baku. Gurbanov's team has managed to score against all opponents in matches held in the capital of Azerbaijan. Whether it is the pragmatic "Copenhagen", the star-studded "Chelsea", or the Frankfurt "Eintracht" that prefers attacking football. Azerbaijanis show a courageous game, and sometimes even take risks by preferring open football." Sport24.az reports that the British "Sports Mole" publication analyzed the opponents on the eve of the first match with "Newcastle" tomorrow as part of the Champions League play-off stage.

 

According to the source, the defense of the Aghdam team is not perfect (recalling the 4 goals they conceded in the game against Ajax), but the team insures it with dedication and devastating counterattacks.

 

"Newcastle" comes to Azerbaijan with two victories. But it is impossible to call it a confident victory. Luck was also on the side of the "magpies" in these meetings. A long flight to Baku (approximately 4000 km) and a change of time will be an additional difficulty for the English team. "Newcastle" makes a weak impression in defense in away games. The team conceded goals in 14 of 15 away games. Taking all factors into account, it is possible to think that both teams will score in tomorrow's match."

 

It should be noted that the "Qarabag" - "Newcastle" match will take place tomorrow at 21:45 at the Tofig Bahramov Republican Stadium.
