"It is very difficult to play against Newcastle at their stadium. But it is possible to fight with this team on our home ground."

"All my prayers will be with the Azerbaijani representative. The team has a good head coach and football players. I believe that they will prepare well for the match. I can only wish "Qarabağ" success. "Newcastle" has a quality squad. But "Qarabağ" also has the potential to surprise. Tomorrow my heart will beat with "Qarabağ". I send my greetings to all the people of Azerbaijan," he said in a statement to AZERTAC.
The match between "Qarabağ" and "Newcastle", which will be held on February 18 at the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium, will start at 21:45.
