"First of all, I wish success to all the teams that will represent our country in European Cups". These words were said by Samir Aliyev, the former head coach of U-21, in his statement to Sport24.az.
Aliyev stated that the playing styles of "Shelbourne" (Ireland) and "Linfield" (Northern Ireland), which could be rivals in the second qualifying round of the Champions League, are similar to each other.
As for "Qarabağ", it doesn't matter whether the opponent is "Shelbourne" or "Linfield". Although I don't have detailed information, it can be said that the playing styles of both teams are similar to each other. In any case, the coaching staff of "Qarabağ" will analyze both teams closely. Considering Aghdam residents' experience in European Cups, they are the favorite against both teams. I believe that Gurban Gurbanov's team will live up to its status and pass the stage.
It should be noted that the first match of the second qualifying round will take place on July 22-23, and the return match will take place on July 29-30. The Aghdam representative will play its first match away.
