"A two-goal difference in cup matches is not a big advantage".
This was stated by Elmar Bakhshiyev, the former head coach of "Araz-Nakhchivan".
The experienced specialist assessed the chances in the return match between "Turan Tovuz" and "Zira", which will be held today in the semi-final stage of the Azerbaijan Cup.
"Cup games are played in a different atmosphere. "Zira", who won the first match, gained an advantage. But there is also a point that the teams will play on a 4-day schedule, and this advantage can end instantly," he said in an interview with report.az.
E.Bakhshiyev emphasized that the level of preparation will play a decisive role:
"The team that is more prepared will be closer to the final. Since a two-goal difference is not a big advantage, the result in today's game can change in favor of both teams".
It should be noted that the match will start at 19:00 at the Zira Sports Complex stadium. In the first match, "Zira" won against "Turan Tovuz" with a score of 2:0.
