"There have been significant changes in the squads of both "Qarabağ" and "Chelsea" since their matches in 2017".
These words were said by Maksim Medvedev, former football player of "Qarabağ", in his statement to AZERTAC, while talking about the match between his former team and the English club "Chelsea" in Baku in the IV round of the main stage of the UEFA Champions League.
He stated that the chances are fifty-fifty: "To be honest, we were given little chance when we played against Chelsea in the group stage of the Champions League in 2017. But that is not the case now. "Qarabağ" has already made a name for itself in the world and in Europe. Our team has repeatedly shown that it is capable of playing with any opponent. As for the London representative, the players in its squad are individually strong and skilled. They are all ready-made players. However, Gurban Gurbanov has also analyzed them well. Both sides are in good shape. But the home ground factor can help us a lot".
According to him, the Aghdam club is capable of scoring more points in the League stage of the Champions League: "The most important thing here is that the players are not injured. If there are no problems in the squad, we can get 3 points from the German representative "Eintracht" at home. I watched their match with "Napoli". They are suitable for us. These words also apply to "Ajax". It is also possible to get points from the Netherlands team at home".
It should be noted that today's match "Qarabağ" - "Chelsea", which will be held at the Tofig Bahramov Republican Stadium, will start at 21:45.
