Sabah will visit Viking on matchday four of the UEFA Champions League league phase. We contacted former Azerbaijan national team and Qarabag coach Aghasalim Mirjavadov to ask for his thoughts on the match.
He told Fanat.az:
“We want Sabah to win. Our representatives must play their own game and, in doing so, make their mark in Europe. Qarabag have managed that. Sabah are also performing well. They have played three matches, with two defeats and one win. They played attractive football even in the games they lost. Our representatives have competed without being intimidated by their opponents’ reputations. They have consistently played attacking football. I also know the Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt well. They faced Qarabag in the Europa League league phase in 2024. Our team beat them 2–1. Viking are also a club with a long history. The artificial pitch could be a problem for Sabah. However good its quality, it is different from natural grass. The opposition are a manageable prospect. It will be a lively match. Sabah must play their own game. I wish our team success.”
The match will take place at Lyse Arena in Stavanger on 4 November at 00:00 Baku time (21:00 local time).
