"The "Neftchi" - "Qarabag" match, planned to be held on February 21 as part of the 21st round of the Misli Premier League, will not be postponed."
According to Idman.Biz, the press service of the "Qarabag" club reported that the Aghdam representative applied to the Professional Football League to postpone the Premier League match before the UEFA Champions League play-off stage match against "Newcastle United."
It was reported that the reason for not accepting this proposal is "Neftchi's" objection.
It should be noted that "Qarabag" will face "Neftchi" on February 21 at 19:00. The team will leave for England the day after the game to prepare for the match against "Newcastle United."

"Qarabag's" match in the Misli Premier League may be postponed.
Idman.Biz, referring to futbolinfo.az, reports that the Aghdam representative wants the match of the 21st round to be postponed to another time due to participation in the UEFA Champions League (CL).
The problem is that the national champion will play historic games against the English club "Newcastle" on February 18 and 24 in the CL play-off stage. Between February 20-22, the team must play a championship match against their arch-rivals "Neftchi."
Considering that there will be two difficult matches against "Newcastle" in 6 days, "Qarabag" will ask the PFL to postpone the championship match. However, this situation has already caused dissatisfaction on the part of "Neftchi." Baku residents want the game to take place in order not to lose momentum. In particular, "Neftchi" fans are putting pressure on the club management not to agree to the postponement.
