Aghdam will face Turkey's Sivasspor in the 4th round match in Group I, Offsideplus.az reports.
Due to the military situation in the country, the Azerbaijani champion, who will host his opponent at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium in Istanbul, is the only team in the group without a goal and is in last place. The representative of Sivas took third place with 3 points. If the "old horses" lose in this match, they will lose their chances to reach the playoffs.
Both teams will face serious losses in the match. In Karabakh, Filip Ozobic will miss the match due to suspension, Maxim Medvedev and Rahil Mammadov due to coronavirus infection. Other injuries - Patrick Andrade, Abbas Huseynov and Bedavi Huseynov - are in question. At Sivasspor, 8 players will not be able to play due to coronavirus problems. Among them are members of the main staff.
The first match between these teams ended with a 2-0 victory of the Turkish team.
In the other match of the group, Spain's Villarreal will face Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel. If La Liga wins the trip, they will qualify for the next round as group leaders.
