"If we look at the rating, Qarabag is above both Maltese and Gibraltar clubs."
This was told to Idman.biz by Sasha Yunisoglu, a former player of the Azerbaijan national team.
He evaluated the fact that the Aghdam club is a rival to the winner of the pair Hamrun (Malta) - Lincoln (Gibraltar) in the second qualifying round of the Champions League. According to Yunisoglu, the fact that Qarabag is 25 points ahead of the second-placed Zira in the Premier League indicates the strength of the team: "The champion of Azerbaijan could not overcome only Bayer in the Europa League last season. I think that it does not matter who is the opponent of Qarabag in this pair. In my opinion, Gurban Gurbanov's team is stronger than both teams and will easily pass to the next round.”
It should be noted that the first matches of the II qualifying round will be held on July 23-24, and the return matches will be held on July 30-31.
