"On paper, "Qarabag" is superior to both the Irish and Northern Irish representatives. I think that Aghdam team will justify their favorite status and advance to the next stage." These words were said by Yashar Vahabzade in his statement to Sport24.az.
The experienced specialist assessed the chances of "Qarabag", which will face the winner of the "Shelbourne" (Ireland) - "Linfield" (Northern Ireland) match in the first qualifying round of the tournament:
"Frankly, I don't have extensive information about the opponents. We will know what they are capable of after the first meeting with "Qarabag". As for Gurban Gurbanov's team, some players left the team during the off-season. In return, new players are joining the camp and more will come in the coming days. It will be interesting for everyone to watch the updated "Qarabag" in action. Our wish is to see our representative in the main stage of the Champions League, which the Aghdam team themselves want more than anyone else."
It should be noted that the first match of the second qualifying round will take place on July 22-23, and the return match on July 29-30. The Aghdam representative will play the first match away.
