We can describe "Sabah" as scoring many goals in every game, and "Araz-Nakhchivan" as our representative in European cups, making breakthroughs. I think both Azerbaijani clubs have a chance to advance to the next stage.
Idman.biz reports that this was stated by Vagif Sadigov, Chairman of the AFFA Coaches Committee and veteran football player, in his statement to Telegraf while talking about the "Araz-Nakhchivan" - "Omonia" (Cyprus) and "Levski" (Bulgaria) - "Sabah" matches to be held today in the III qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League.
The experienced specialist expressed his belief that Azerbaijani clubs can achieve positive results from the first meeting: "It is gratifying that both clubs make us happy by qualifying for the next stage. The performance in the previous games and the game shown give hope. I believe that both the "red-whites" and the "owls" can surpass their opponents."
Sadigov noted that the Masazir representative will come out with a good result from the first game with the Bulgarian club: "As the stage progresses, the level of the opponents increases. Valdas Dambrauskas's team is waiting for the "Levski" test, a Bulgarian team with a strong history. I think they will make a confident impression against this opponent as well. In general, if we go back a little, "Sabah" undeservedly dropped to the Conference League by losing to the Slovenian club "Tsele". To continue in this tournament, they will spend all their energy. The "Owls" will fight against the Bulgarian team until the last moment."
The 66-year-old specialist also shared his expectations from Elmar Bakhshiyev's team: "They surprise us in a good way as a team that qualified for European cups for the first time, and as a club that qualified for the next stage for the first time. I hope that they will make an even bigger breakthrough against Cyprus's "Omonia". No matter how difficult it is, "Araz-Nakhchivan" is able to beat "Omonia". Let's believe that the "red-whites" will make us happy by making a breakthrough."
It should be noted that the "Araz-Nakhchivan" - "Omonia" match will be held at "Dalga Arena" at 22:00, and the "Levski" - "Sabah" match will be held in Sofia, at the "Georgi Asparuxov" stadium at 22:00.
