Artim Sakiri: "One goal is not a significant advantage, Shkendija is strong enough to close the gap"

Former Qarabag and Shkendija player Artim Sakiri evaluated the upcoming second leg match between the two teams in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round.

The 51-year-old expert told Futbolinfo.az that the chances are equal, Idman.biz reports.

In his opinion, Qarabag’s 1-0 away win does not mean everything is decided: “Qarabag gained some advantage by winning the first match in North Macedonia. However, I don’t think it’s a big advantage because Shkendija did not perform poorly in the game in Skopje. It was just that both teams’ goalkeepers showed excellent performances that day. I think the chances are still fifty-fifty. In football, one goal is not a serious advantage, and Shkendija is strong enough to close that gap.”

Today’s game at the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium will start at 20:00.
