"We may encounter surprises in the cup final. Sometimes the team you consider weak overcomes the strong one. The atmosphere is completely different in such matches. Therefore, it will be a difficult match for both sides."
İdman.biz reports that former Azerbaijani national football player Rauf Aliyev said this in his statement to AZERTAC while evaluating the chances of "Qarabag" and "Sabah" teams that will face each other in the final stage of the national cup.
The 36-year-old specialist, who is currently the head coach of Qarabag's U-15 team, said that he considers the Aghdam club, whose uniform he once wore, to be the favorite of the pair: "If we look at the composition and game of the teams today, we can say that Qarabag is more superior. Since our team has formalized the championship in the Premier League, it has focused all its attention on the cup match. If Sabah does not win the cup, it may complicate their work. Because the cup is the only chance to participate in European cups. Since the final consists of one match, both teams will approach the game very seriously."
It should be noted that the final game of the Azerbaijan Cup, which will be held on May 31 at the Sumgayit city stadium named after Mehdi Huseynzade, will start at 19:00.
