"It won't be easy for our players today after the game with France."
These words were said by Oktay Abdullayev, the chairman of the Azerbaijan Football Veterans Union, in his statement to Idman.Biz, while sharing his thoughts on our national team's match against Ukraine in the qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.
He noted that it will be a difficult match for our national team today: "But I believe that they can show a successful result against Ukraine."
He gave a prediction for the upcoming game: "If head coach Aykhan Abbasov applies the same tactics as in the first game, our players can repeat that result. My prediction is 1:1. The main thing is that the forwards do their job correctly. And in defense, positive changes have already been observed since Abbasov's arrival," - said Oktay Abdullayev.
