"Qarabag" will look more confident if it doesn't concede a goal in the first minutes of the match against "Benfica" in the main stage of the UEFA Champions League today.
Idman.biz reports that this was said by Rauf Aliyev, the former striker of Aghdam's representative and the Azerbaijani national team, in his statement to "Report".
The expert emphasized that the opponent is strong: "It is the first game in the UEFA Champions League. But the opponent is strong. "Qarabag" will play against a team with enough experience in this competition. It will be difficult on the road. If they don't concede a goal from the first minutes, the team will look more confident. "Qarabag" players may have trained less together after the break due to the national teams. But in any case, "Qarabag" has European experience. The players have seen strong pressure."
He said that Nariman Akhundzade is a serious loss for the team: "Of course, Nariman Akhundzade's injury is a serious loss for "Qarabag" today. But even without Nariman, other alternative options can be used. For example, Leandro Andrade can be played forward. They can also start the game with Musa. In any case, Gurban Gurbanov will decide this."
It should be noted that today's "Benfica" - "Qarabag" match, which will be held at the "Estadio da Luz" stadium in Lisbon, will start at 23:00 Baku time.
