The return match will be difficult for "Araz-Nakhchivan", who defeated "Aris" (Greece) (2:1) in the first match of the II qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League held in Baku.
This was stated to "Report" by the former coach of the Azerbaijani national team, Mahmud Gurbanov.
The expert highly appreciated the game of the Nakhchivan team:
"Araz-Nakhchivan's game, result, and aggressiveness were good and satisfactory. There was great desire, a spirit of victory, and struggle. Let's take into account that the opponent is not easy either, and the return game will be difficult for "Araz-Nakhchivan". Although they won with a minimal difference. The Nakhchivan team did not give "Aris" a chance yesterday. Although Greek fans are crazy, "Araz-Nakhchivan" players are experienced. They will not pay attention to the pressure of the fans and will focus on their game".
The veteran football player also shared his thoughts on the team's chances of passing the stage:
"Araz-Nakhchivan" has the same chances of passing the stage as the Greek club. Because the goal difference is small and the opponent will play on their own field. In addition, they have dangerous players. True, "Araz-Nakhchivan" also has a good squad and achieved a good result in the first game. For example, Patrik Andrade has been playing in Azerbaijan for many years. Felipe Santos does his job, scores goals, and plays well. Nothing can be said about new transfers yet. Overall, the team's attacking potential is strong".
It should be noted that the return match between the teams will be held in Greece on July 31.
