The Aghdam club is the favorite in the "Qarabag" - "Shelbourne" (Ireland) pair of the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.
Idman.biz informs that this was stated by AFFA Technical Director Jahangir Hasanov in his statement to "Report".
He said that a difficult game awaits "Qarabag": "Qarabag" already has a style and philosophy. Their opponent does not have great strength. But this does not mean that "Qarabag" will win by a big score. Because the opponent is a representative of European football and will try to keep the intrigue for the next game at least. Therefore, I can say that a difficult game awaits "Qarabag". In addition, there is the issue of fan pressure away from home. In general, "Qarabag" is superior. But the team also has shortcomings - new players have joined the team. Will they adapt to the philosophy quickly, or will it take time? This issue can affect the course of the game. True, the team conceded and scored a lot of goals in the preparatory games. But this may also be due to the rotations carried out during the games, not to problems in defense. That is, I don't think there are problems in defense. Most likely, Gurban Gurbanov took certain steps to fully see the potential of the players. In any case, I think that "Qarabag" is the favorite of the pair."
It should be noted that the "Shelbourne" - "Qarabag" match will start at 22:45 Baku time at the "Tolka Park" stadium in Dublin.
