Interview with former Azerbaijan national team footballer Anatoly Ponomarev to the website İdman.biz

– Since you live in Sweden, you know Malmo, Qarabag’s rival in the Europa League, well. What are the advantages of this team? Who from the rival camp should Karabakh pay attention to?

– Malmö is a very good team. They have a lot of dangerous players. Qarabag should be wary of their opponent’s number 10 Anders Christiansen. He is 34 years old and is indeed a very experienced player. He carries out most of the attacks. In the same way, I can highlight the young Hugo Bolin, who plays under number 38. Bolin is a good striker who likes to penetrate the opponent’s area from the left and finish the job. Qarabag should pay special attention to these two players.

– Each club has its own strengths and weaknesses. What is Malmö missing?

– Yes, the Swedes are not perfect either. Most of the time they play attacking football. Their weak point is defense. Gurban Gurbanov’s team may have many opportunities for counterattacks.

– Do you think Qarabag will be able to beat Malmo if it fights the same way as against Tottenham?

– Each game has its own rhythm. So it’s very difficult to say. Tottenham is a very strong team. Last week we witnessed this again.

– What does the Swedish press write about this game?

– The Swedish press is very concerned. They are well aware of the power of Karabakh. They write that Malmö will have a difficult away match in Baku.

– How do you assess the chances of Karabakh winning?

– The champion of Azerbaijan is a very strong team. Every year they perform better in Europe. I think that the favorite of the match is the representative of Agdam.

– What is your guess about the score?

– Considering that they are playing at home, I expect Qarabag to win with a score of 2:1. It will be a tense and difficult game. Malmö is a stronger team than Hakken, whom we met last year.
