The favorite of the "Qarabağ" - "Shelbourne" (Ireland) pairing of the II qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League is the Aghdam club. Sport24.az reports that this was stated by Jahangir Hasanzade, Technical Director of AFFA, in his statement to "Report".
He said that "Qarabağ" is waiting for a difficult game: "Qarabağ" already has a style and philosophy. The opponent also does not have great strength. But this does not mean that "Qarabağ" will win by a big score. Because the opponent is a representative of European football and will at least try to keep the intrigue for the next game. Therefore, I can say that "Qarabağ" is waiting for a difficult game. Moreover, there is the issue of fan pressure on the road. In general, "Qarabağ" is superior. But the team also has lagging sides - new players have joined the team. Will they adapt to the philosophy quickly, or will it take time? This issue may affect the course of the game. True, the team conceded and scored a lot of goals in the friendly games. But this may be due to rotations during the games, not problems in defense. That is, I don't think there are any problems in defense. Most likely, Gurban Gurbanov has taken certain steps to fully see the potential of the players. In any case, I think that "Qarabağ" is the favorite of the pair".
It should be noted that the "Shelbourne" - "Qarabağ" match will start at 22:45 Baku time at the "Tolka Park" stadium in Dublin.
