"There may be some difficulties because we are playing away."
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by Rahid Amirguliyev, a former football player of the Azerbaijani national team, in his statement to Sport24.az.
The former football player of the national team shared his thoughts on the qualifying match of the 2026 World Cup, which the team will play against Iceland today:
"I haven't seen the opponent's games recently. I looked at the approximate results of the last five matches. They have 4 defeats and 1 victory. I don't know how they play in terms of the game. The result is not encouraging for us either."
Amirguliyev touched upon the possibility of the Azerbaijani national team winning points away: "We can play normal football against this opponent. We can win or lose. But I think we should try to show a good game. It will be very difficult away. The home team will also go to the field to win. I think our team should play comfortably and confidently. We have nothing to lose. At least we can show a good game and return from the away game with a point."
It should be noted that the Iceland-Azerbaijan match, which will take place today, will start at 22:45.
