"They are a familiar rival to Qarabag. We all know that Lincoln is weaker than the Azerbaijan champion."
Azerbaijan head coach Arif Asadov told this in his interview to Idman.biz.
Today, the specialist announced his expectations for the match between Lincoln and Qarabag in the second qualifying round of the Champions League in Gibraltar. He said that the game will not be easy for our representative: "In the first stages, Qarabag always faces difficulties. There are problems in playing style. I think it will be the same this time. The match against Lincoln will not be as easy as we thought. The first match is also away. Aghdam people are considered the superior party. The course of the match will be affected by the weather conditions and the field factor. Their stadium has artificial turf. These can create difficulties for Gurban Gurbanov's team. But in the end, Qarabag will win and pass the stage based on the results of 2 games."
Asadov expects victory from Qarabag with a minimum score: "It is not important what score to win. The main thing is that Qarabag returns from the trip with a victory and goes to the game comfortably at home. I don't think we will win by a big difference."
The Lincoln - Qarabag match will start today at 20:00 Baku time.
