"This Is Anfield", published in Liverpool, drew attention to Qarabag's sensational home defeat (0:2) to Kapaz in the 17th round of the Azerbaijan Premier League, as well as this result on the eve of their trip to Liverpool for the Champions League match.
Idman.Biz reports that journalist Henry Jackson linked the result with the Agdam club's preparation for their trip to Liverpool.
"Qarabag had far from ideal preparation for their trip to Liverpool on Tuesday night, completely changing the squad and suffering a painful 0-2 defeat at home," Jackson wrote.
The author also emphasized the unexpected nature of the setback, noting that the opponent (Kapaz) scored one goal in each half.
In particular, Jackson drew attention to Qarabag's extensive rotation before the meeting with Liverpool.
"Gurban Gurbanov made 11 changes in preparation for the match with Liverpool, and this was a heavy blow in the championship race," the journalist added.
It should be noted that Liverpool lost to Bournemouth 2:3 away in the 23rd round of the English Premier League.
Recall that the match between Liverpool and Qarabag will be held on January 28 at Anfield and will start at 23:59 Baku time. Gurban Gurbanov's team is in 18th place with ten points before the final round of the Champions League main stage, while the Merseyside club is fourth with 15 points.
