"I think my compatriots have a higher chance. But in football, you can never say anything for sure."
İdman.biz reports that Croatian goalkeeper Ivan Brkic, who played for "Neftchi" in 2022-2024, said this in his statement to Telegraf while talking about the return match between "Hajduk" and "Zira" in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League.
The 30-year-old goalkeeper, who currently plays for Poland's "Motor", said that the Azerbaijani representative has less chance of qualifying: "I watched the first match, which ended in a 1:1 draw. "Zira" played well in that match. An interesting match took place at "Neftchi Arena", which was once home to me. There will be a completely different match in Split. Anything is possible in football. The result is still uncertain."
Brkic emphasized that head coach Rashad Sadigov's team is waiting for a difficult test in Croatia: "The return game will undoubtedly be difficult. 30,000 "Hajduk" fans will be waiting for "Zira" in Split. That incredible atmosphere gives great strength to the local team's players. It will be an interesting game."
It should be noted that the "Hajduk" - "Zira" game, which will take place on July 31, will be held at the "Polyud" stadium. The match will start at 23:00 Baku time.
