BAKU: Azerbaijani football veteran Afran Ismayilov has revealed his expectations from teams in the Azerbaijan Premier League’s last rounds, Trend reports via Idman.biz.

According to him, four to five teams have a chance to take second place.

In addition to silver medals, we are also talking about representation in European competitions, so it’s difficult to say anything, the veteran noted.

“The marathon is coming to an end. Those who are physically and psychologically prepared will achieve their goal. Neftchi at the moment is not showing very good football in tactical and technical terms, but it holds these positions thanks to the individual qualities of its players.

If the ‘black and whites’ finish the championship in 2nd place, it can be considered a success for them. If they fail to at least qualify for the Conference League, it will be a serious failure. Qarabag plays every game aiming for victory, and despite securing the championship, it will hardly relax.

Currently, teams like Zira and Sumgayit ar
e in good condition. They play very good football. The fight for second place will unfold between these teams,” concluded Ismayilov.

Today marks the start of the 32nd round of the Azerbaijan Premier League. In the first match, Sabah will host Sabail.
