Today, "Qarabag" will play its first game in the Champions League. The opponent is an old acquaintance - "Lincoln Red Imps". Last year, "atlılar" who met the mentioned team in the 1st qualifying round of CL, won 6:1 after two games.

If we look at the successes of "Lincoln Red Imps", it can be noted that the team has been the champion of Gibraltar 27 times, 14 times in a row. This is a record indicator. The club, founded in 1976, plays its home games in the 5,000-seat "Victoria" stadium. The team with a total value of 2.1 million euros has 7 players who play in the national team of Gibraltar. The most expensive player of "Red Demons" is striker Tjay De Barr. According to the "Transfermarkt" portal, its price is 175,000 euros. An interesting point is that the vast majority of the opponent's team is made up of Spanish players. So, 12 members of the team are Priney. In addition, head coach Xavi Munoz is also a citizen of the mentioned country.

For comparison, let's note that the total value of the representative of Azerbaijan is 16.48 million euros. The most expensive player is Juninho, who is worth 2 million euros.

Thus, although "Karabakh" is considered the favorite of the pair on paper, the match may be difficult for the representative of Agdam. It should be noted that the pitch of the "Europa Point Stadium", where the game will be held, is artificial. This point created difficulties for Gurban Gurbanov's team last year as well. Another concern for fans is the goal line. True, after the departure of Andrey Lunyov, Fabian Buntich and Shahruddin Mahammadaliyev joined the colors of the "riders". However, we are not familiar with the game of the Croatian goalkeeper. The fact that Shahruddin made mistakes in important moments is a worrying point for the fans. The fact that Elvin Jafarguliyev is suspended and Musa Gurbanli is injured cannot help but make the fans think.
