Nadir Nabiyev: "A team with a larger squad may have certain advantages"

"Both games will be interesting. Every team has a chance to reach the final. Based on the result of the first game, we can say that "Sabah" is one step ahead." These words were said by Nadir Nabiyev, a former member of the national team, in his statement to Sport24.az.

The veteran football player, who currently holds the post of president of the Western Regional Football Federation, shared his thoughts on the return matches of the semi-finals:

"The results in the first game were such that extra time may be needed. It is expected that the game will be intense and interesting, as this is the last chance for "Sabah" and "Neftchi" to finish the season with a title. Although "Araz-Nakhchivan" has an advantage due to the result in the first game, it will be more difficult for them. "Qarabag" will put pressure from the first minutes. The Nakhchivan representative will try to make maximum use of the counterattack. Both games will be interesting for the fans. May the team that deserves it win the cup. The last games of "Araz-Nakhchivan" and "Sabah" in the championship were difficult. A team with a large squad may have a relative advantage. Each of the four teams has a chance to reach the final. The main thing is that both games are interesting and without injuries."

It should be noted that the return matches of the cup will be held today. The match "Qarabag" - "Araz-Nakhchivan" will start at 17:00, and the game "Sabah" - "Neftchi" will start at 20:00.
