“After the first match, 70–80 percent of the outcome of the next round has been decided.”
These words were said by Arif Asadov in a statement to Sport24.az, Idman.biz reports.
The experienced specialist shared his expectations ahead of the UEFA Conference League second qualifying round return leg between “Sabah” and “Petrocub,” which will take place in Masazir: “Sabah must take their opponent seriously. They played confident football away and earned a deserved win. As I said, the most important thing is to take the opponent seriously. Although they beat Petrocub in Moldova, it wasn’t easy at all. Only in the second half, after a mistake by the goalkeeper, did Sabah score two goals. Overall, it was an evenly matched game. That’s why I say that if Sabah prepares well, they can win again in Masazir.”
The “Sabah” – “Petrocub” match will take place on July 31 at Bank Respublika Arena and will kick off at 20:00.
