"To be honest, Celje doesn’t talk much about this match. But those who do discuss it think that Celje will defeat Sabah. However, people understand that the first match in Baku will be difficult."
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by former Celje footballer Jure Travner in an interview with Sportal.az.
Travner, who wore the "Baku" jersey from 2013 to 2015, spoke about the chances of Sabah and Celje, who will face each other in the qualifying round of the Europa League.
Travner, who also played for Celje from 2004 to 2009 and 2015 to 2020, said that the team representing his hometown will face difficulties in the match in Baku: "I think Riera’s team is ready to face Sabah. They just lost 3-4 key players. In that sense, it will be tough for them too. To be honest, I don’t know much about Sabah, but I know they are a good team. I’m also aware that they won the Azerbaijan Cup last season. I have watched some moments from the game. In any case, the chances of Sabah and Celje are 50/50."
Sabah vs. Celje match will be held today, starting at 20:00.
