Mark Tamas, former football player of "Neftchi", has assessed the chances in the friendly match between Azerbaijan and Hungary, which will be held today.
"Report" informs, citing the AFFA press service, that the only Hungarian football player who has played in Azerbaijani championships said that he believes that his country's representative will win.
The 31-year-old defender, who currently plays for the Romanian club "Sepsi", thinks that the game will not be easy for the Hungarian national team:
"I think the Hungarian national team will win this match. But I think it won't be easy at all. Still, in terms of preparing well for the qualifying round, the Hungarian national team should win this match."
The experienced football player also noted the main advantage of the Azerbaijani national team:
"Most of the players of your national team play in the domestic championship and play in almost the same team. In this case, the players know each other better. This is the main advantage of the Azerbaijani national team. I was a teammate with Emin Mahmudov in "Neftchi". I know Mahir from Poland. I played there in the "Slask" club in 2020-2022. Mahir also wore the uniform of "Legia" for a short time at that time. Both are very high-quality football players."
The football player said that the Hungarian national team is formed from a strong collective:
"The Hungarian national team is formed from a very strong collective. Their main "weapon" is the team
spirit that the head coach has built for years. Most football players play in the Top-5 leagues. We also have a captain like Dominik Soboslay."
He also shared his impressions about Baku:
"Baku is a wonderful city. When we have time, we still come there to see our friends. My family was also in Baku a few
weeks ago."
It should be noted that the Azerbaijan-Hungary match will start today at 20:00 at the "Liv Bona Dea Arena".
