Tonight, "Qarabağ" will play its last - 8th round match of the League stage of the Champions League. Sport24.az reports that the Aghdam team will face the latest champion of England, "Liverpool", away.
The meeting, which will be held at "Enfield" stadium, will start on January 29 at 00:00 Baku time.
Currently, "Qarabağ", which has 10 points, is in the 18th place in the tournament table, and "Liverpool" is in the 4th place with 15 points. This game is of particular importance for both teams and none of them will try to lose at least. "Liverpool" must win to directly secure a place in the 1/8 finals. For "Qarabağ", even 1 point will be enough to advance to the play-off. But theoretically, the Aghdam club will still have a chance to play in that stage even if they lose. This will also depend on the results of several other matches.
It should be noted that the teams that take the first 8 places directly qualify for the 1/8 finals, and those that take the 9-24 places get the right to play in the "play-off" (conditionally 1/16 finals). Those who take 25-36 places will end the fight in European Cups for this season.
