Tonight, "Qarabag" 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", on the road.
The match to be held at "Anfield" stadium will start on January 29 at 00:00 Baku time.
Currently, "Qarabag" with 10 points is 18th in the tournament table, and "Liverpool" is 4th with 15 points. This game is of particular importance for both teams, and neither will try to lose at least. "Liverpool" must win to secure a direct spot in the 1/8 finals. "Qarabag" will also need 1 point to advance to the play-offs. 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 who take the 9-24 places get the right to play in the "play-off" (conditionally 1/16 finals). Those who take 25-36 places end the fight in European Cups for this season.
