Qarabag – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Horsemen” continue to dominate the inner arena. They took the eleventh championship title in the spring (and the tenth one starting from the 2013/2014 season).
However, Kurban Kurbanov and his wards have long considered the Champions League as a priority, where they regularly lose in the qualification round. This time, they got off to a good start: the club won both matches with a total score of 7-0. Still, it is reasonable to mention that the opponent was pretty modest – Lincoln Red Imps.
Ludogorets – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Eagles” have such a cool series of victories at the national level that Qarabag and even PSG can envy them. The gold medals won in the spring were the thirteenth in a row. At the same time, the grand has won the cup trophy only 3 times – there is not enough motivation for national tournaments.
The priority is the Champions League, where the club has not been able to return to the group round for a long time. Now it has managed to overcome 2 qualifying rounds. And that happened according to an identical scenario. Both with Dinamo from Batumi and with the “teammates” from Minsk the team won on the native field with a difference of 2 goals, 3-1 and 2-0, respectively. Then, it complacently conceded in the return matches – 0-1. Still, now the team has to start at the away arena.
