"Zire has been showing a stable game recently."
Agaselim Mirjavadov, a member of the AFFA Coaches Committee, told Idman.biz.
He evaluated the Zire - Osijek match in the Conference League 3rd qualifying round. The experienced specialist said that the representative of Azerbaijan plays calmly and smartly in defense: "They started the Premier League quite well. In their first match against Sabail, they won by a big score. All this suggests that there are many changes in Zire. With the exception of the second game against Sheriff, they played with good confidence against others. Zire is always exciting in a home match. In my opinion, they can fully show themselves in the away match. The difference between the European Cup and the Azerbaijan Championship is too great. There is no space for mistake there. Otherwise, you will be punished with consecutive goals. I have a lot of hope. I believe that Zire will gain the advantage and win. They will even advance."
According to him, the Croatian club is not weak either: "They have strong players in their team. They do not have quality internationals. But we have to be ready for everything."
The match between Osijek and Zira will be held at Opus Arena at 22:00 Baku time.
