Azerbaijan’s representatives Sabah will face Viking away in their next UEFA Champions League league-phase match. We contacted former striker Vugar Nadirov, who made numerous international appearances for both Azerbaijan and Qarabag, to ask what he expects from the Owls’ match in Norway.
He told Fanat.az:
“We have all watched Sabah’s previous Champions League matches. The Azerbaijani champions are representing our country admirably. The football they played in their 2-0 win over Slavia Prague and their defeat by Borussia Dortmund deserves praise. I think Sabah have a strong chance of securing at least a draw against Viking. Of course, the Scandinavian side are also a strong team. When we are talking about a team that drew 3-3 with Bayern Munich, there is little more to say about their strength and quality. But Sabah are strong too. As I said, Sabah are more likely to return from Norway with a draw, but a win is also possible. That is how I see it.”
The match will take place at the Lyse Arena in Stavanger on 4 November at 00:00 Baku time (21:00 local time).
