Neftchi's new transfer, Vincent Abubakar, who will face Qarabag in the XI round of the Misli Premier League, could be a big threat to the Aghdam team.
Former Azerbaijani national team striker Rauf Aliyev said this in his statement to Report.
The former striker, who once wore the uniform of both Neftchi and Qarabag as a football player, assessed the chances in the Azerbaijan derby: "Neftchi is winning in recent games. The team has recovered a bit. Maybe new transfers are now adapting to the team and feeling the atmosphere of the championship. The arrival of Vincent Abubakar is only beneficial. He has distinguished himself in the games he has played. He is a good, high-level, proven striker. He can be a big threat to Qarabag. Although he doesn't run much, he is dangerous inside the penalty area. Neftchi's recent good form shows that this match will be even more interesting."
He also emphasized that he sees Qarabag as superior to Neftchi: "There is no need to talk much about Qarabag. They are currently in good shape. It is possible that Gurban Gurbanov will give some players a rest. Certain rotations are possible due to fatigue. Despite all this, I see Qarabag as superior."
It should be noted that the Qarabag - Neftchi match will take place on November 9.
