"It is preferable for Zira to play at home."
Jeyhun Sultanov, a former member of the Azerbaijan national team, told Idman.biz.
He expressed his opinion about the return match of Zira against Sheriff today in the first Europa League qualifying round. The veteran football player considers the chances to be equal: "Although this team is not the previous Sheriff, it is still very dangerous. Although our representative won, I think the chances are 50/50. In my opinion, if Zira wants to level up, they should try to take advantage of the opportunities it gets like on the trip. I would like to be the first "eagles" from our clubs to pass the stage.”
Sultanov voiced his opinion that the game will not go to extra time: "I think the fate of the match will be decided in 90 minutes. It's true, anything can happen in football. I didn't want the game to go to a penalty shootout. Because penalty kicks are like a lottery. Hopefully, within 90 minutes, Zira will handle it."
Zira defeated Sheriff with a score of 1:0 in the game held in Moldova. The match to be held in Baku will start at 20:00.
