The chances are equal in the "Sabah" - "Levski" game.
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by Agil Nabiyev, the head coach of the Azerbaijan U-17 national team, in his statement to AZERTAC while evaluating the chances of "Sabah" and "Araz-Nakhchivan", who will play their return matches today in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League.
He stated that the Bulgarian representative "Levski" will not play open football in the match with "Sabah" in Baku: "There were no major mistakes from "Sabah" in the first match. Valdas Dambrauskas simply played defensive football. This was due to the opponent's reputation. In my opinion, both teams will play cautiously in Baku. I don't believe that "Levski" will have an easy fight. Because our representative has a very good attack line. They can be a headache for the opponent. Fan support will also be important for "Sabah" today."
The expert said that the team "Araz-Nakhchivan", which will be a guest of "Omonia" in Cyprus, has very little chance of qualifying for the next stage: "Omonia" is a team with European experience. The Nakhchivan representative, on the other hand, is inexperienced. That's why the first meeting turned out like this for them. Nothing is impossible in football. "Araz-Nakhchivan" must first of all play for the name of Azerbaijani football. A victory in Cyprus will bring points to the country's ranking."
"Sabah" will face the Bulgarian club "Levski" at the "Bank Respublika Arena" in Masazir. The match, which will be managed by Ukrainian head referee Mikola Balakin, will start at 20:00.
In the first match in Sofia, the home team won with a minimal score. The winner of this pair will test the stronger of the "AZ Alkmaar" (Netherlands) - "Vaduts" (Liechtenstein) duel in the play-off stage.
"Araz-Nakhchivan" will face "Omonia" in Cyprus. The match, which will start at 21:00 Baku time, will be headed by Danish referee Jakob Kehlet. The Nakhchivan representative lost the first match in Baku with a score of 0:4. The winner of this pair will face the loser of the PAOK (Greece) - "Volfsberger" (Austria) pair, who play in the Europa League.
