Ex-footballer of Dnipro Oleksandr Poklonsky told what he expects from the return match of Dnipro-1 with Cypriot AEK in the playoff round of the Europa League qualification, which will be held today in Larnaca. Recall that the first meeting of the opponents ended with the defeat of the Dnipro with a score of 1:2.
Alexander Poklonsky“I think Dnepr-1 will win. My confidence is based on the fact that the first game turned out to be nervous. Still, it was the debut official match of Dnipro after a long pause. A new head coach came to the team, there were many newcomers. However, the level of the players of the Ukrainian team is higher, it was visible to the naked eye.
I believe that Oleksandr Kucher's wards will win not only in the second match, but also in the sum of two matches. I suppose that one of the goals will be recorded by Artem Dovbik. (Smiling).
There is a war going on in Ukraine, so I hope that unity and dedication will be on the side of our team.
If suddenly Dnepr-1 fails to overcome this round, then for me it will be a big annoyance. I will express my opinion: the Conference League is an incomprehensible tournament. In terms of level, it cannot even be compared with the Europa League, ”Poklonsky quotes "TEAM1".
