The Azerbaijan national team will face Liechtenstein in Vaduz today.
We contacted former national team coach Arif Asadov to ask for his thoughts on the match.
The experienced coach told Fanat.az:
“I wish our national team the best of luck against Liechtenstein. We are heading into our final match. We must win to finish top. Our team have the potential to do that, and I believe we will win. The key is simply to take our chances when they come.
In the first match against these opponents in Baku, we saw that we created plenty of chances. When you fail to take your chances, the opposition grow in confidence. To avoid the same situation this time, we must score early.
Of course, we are playing away from home. We may come under some pressure from the opposition. The pitch could also be an issue: the artificial surface may cause certain difficulties. Despite all that, though, I think our players have plenty of potential, and we can outperform the opposition as a team and win.”
The match kicks off today at 23:45 Baku time.
