"I think this opponent is at a lower level than "Qarabag". But they play good football as a team." These words were said to Sport24.az by former football player of the Azerbaijani national team, Ceyhun Sultanov.
The former midfielder shared his thoughts on the first match of the third qualifying round of the Champions League, which the country's champion will play against the North Macedonian representative "Shkendija" away.
First of all, he wished success to the "stallions": "I think the home team will try to play on the counterattack. "Qarabag" should not allow this. I expect dominant football from them. If they make the most of their goal opportunities, we can achieve even better results. "Qarabag" is a head above its opponent. I think they will pass the stage and win away".
It should be noted that the "Shkendija" - "Qarabag" match will start today at 22:00 Baku time. The return match, which will be held on August 12 at the Tofig Bahramov Republican Stadium, will start at 20:00.
