"I don't think the result of the first match will determine the fate of the tie. The chances are still equal before the return match. In such games, everything doesn't end with one defeat, there is always an opportunity to change the situation. Very rarely everything becomes clear after the first match."
Idman.biz reports that Tarlan Ahmadov said this in his statement to Futbolinfo.az.
Evaluating the chances of our representatives in the Conference League, the experienced expert later noted: "We expect a victory from both of our representatives. Of course, it won't be easy. "Omonia" is a familiar opponent for Elmar Bakhshiyev. They also played against this team when he worked in "Gabala". The opponent has a stable and well-established squad. Nevertheless, "Araz-Nakhchivan" is performing more impressively this season compared to previous periods. Quality legionnaires have been attracted to the team and they are increasing their performance in every match. They are more aggressive in attack, but certain gaps are observed in defense. If they play more carefully in the back line, they can gain an advantage in this game. Having the first match at home is also an advantage. It is important to score as many goals as possible to make the situation easier in the return match. We saw Omonia's aggressive football in their matches with Zira last season. The goals they scored prove that their attacking potential is high."
Ahmadov also spoke about Sabah's opponent, Levski: "Levski has a rich experience in European Cups and is a well-established club. But there is no unbeatable opponent in football. We also expect successful performances from our teams. If we have advanced to this stage, it means that the chances are equal. The side that makes fewer mistakes and plays more compactly in defense will advance to the next stage. In such games, mistakes are costly and do not go unpunished. Our main wish is for our representatives to qualify for the play-offs."
Tarlan believes that everyone has a weak spot: "Every team has weaknesses. I am sure that the coaches have analyzed them accurately and prepared accordingly. The playing style of our representatives is quite valuable both in defense and attack. In such moments, it is important to respond to the opponent with his playing style."
Ahmadov finally expressed his belief in our representatives: "Our clubs are strong enough to pass the stage in terms of squad and playing style. New transfers have added dynamics to the team. For this reason, they will not look helpless against the opponent on the field. If we are more aggressive in attack and can take advantage of the opportunities, we can be the side that advances. Our football has already reached the level where teams are starting to perform more ambitiously thanks to the transferred legionnaires. Let's hope that our representatives will do their best and advance to the next stage. Even if they cannot reach the play-offs, the struggle shown so far is a great result. What we want most is to have more of our clubs represented in the group stage. Football is a game in which unexpected results can emerge at any moment. Let's hope these surprises are in our favor."
