"There will be difficult but equally interesting matches for both teams." Sport24.az reports that these words were said by North Macedonian veteran footballer Muarem Muarem, who once played for "Qarabağ", in his statement to AZERTAC while talking about the matches that his former team will play with the "Shkëndija" club of his country in the II qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.
The former midfielder, who wore the uniform of the Aghdam representative twice in different years, said that the chances are equal: "Because "Shkëndija" won a confident victory over the Romanian FCSB club last night, and thus showed how ambitious and at the same time well-prepared the team is. There are football players within the team who have known each other for many years and play together. "Shkëndija" is a team that likes to play with the ball, can create serious difficulties for the opponent and consists of very high-quality football players."
Despite these factors, Muarem emphasized that the Azerbaijani champion is the favorite of the pair: "But anything is possible in football. We may encounter surprises in the course of the matches. Some things may happen differently than we think. Therefore, both teams have a chance to advance to the next stage."
It should be noted that the first match between the teams, which will be held in Skopje on August 5, will start at 22:00 Baku time. The return match will be held a week later at the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium and will start at 20:00.
