"1 point could be considered a good result for the Azerbaijan national team, which will face Iceland today in the qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup."
Idman.biz reports that this was stated by Rauf Aliyev, the former forward of the national team, in his statement to "Report."
He emphasized that Iceland is a good team: "A difficult test awaits the team in Iceland. The opponent performs well at the national level. Moreover, each of their players plays in high-quality clubs. They are very good at standing out from standard situations. I think that 1 point gained away could be considered a good result for the Azerbaijan national team."
The former striker said that the team's results are not encouraging: "We will play at home against Ukraine in a few days. The team's recent performances and the failure to achieve successful results after the arrival of Fernando Santos are not encouraging. Therefore, it is difficult to express a positive opinion about the upcoming matches. Let them prove us wrong."
Aliyev doesn't think there will be fatigue in the team: "The team may be in good physical condition. Because both the championships have started and they have undergone preparation. Since the season has just started, there can be no fatigue."
It should be noted that the Iceland - Azerbaijan match will start today at 22:45 Baku time.
