Rauf Aliyev predicts that "Qarabag" will play with the main squad in the return match against "Shelbourne"

"Qarabag" will also play with the main squad in the return match of the II qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League against "Shelbourne" (Ireland).

The former striker of the Aghdam club and the Azerbaijani national team, Rauf Aliyev, said this in an interview with "Report".

He thinks that head coach Gurban Gurbanov will act cautiously:

"In my opinion, the result of the first game will not relax "Qarabag". Because we already have a very experienced team. All the players in the squad have faced similar situations. I also know Gurban muellim well. Even if the score is 3:0, he will never allow the team to relax. Except for the injured, I think that "Qarabag" will play with the main squad. Therefore, I am sure that they will show a good game and get a result."

The 36-year-old expert said that the Irish club will use flank passes more:

"Of course, the opponent analyzed "Qarabag" in the first game and now they know it better. The Irish team uses flank passes more. In general, representatives of Great Britain play in this style. It must be admitted that flank passes often create a danger for "Qarabag". Maybe the Irish club will try to use it more. This was also visible in the first game. The opponent preferred flanks and even once the post saved the team from a goal."

It should be noted that the "Qarabag" - "Shelbourne" match will start today at 20:00 at the Tofig Bahramov Republican Stadium. The first game held in Dublin ended with a 3:0 victory of the team coached by Gurban Gurbanov.
