Yuriy Vernydub: "We will see how ready we are for such a strong opponent as Betis. It will be very interesting"

Kryvbas head coach Yuriy Vernydub told what he expects from his team's first match against Betis in the Conference League playoff qualifying round, which will take place today in Kosice.

"We expect a good match. We play with a strong opponent. I would not like to talk much. Let's wait for the match day and see how ready we are for such a strong opponent as Betis. The game promises to be very interesting. We are ready for this battle. We want to play with this great opponent.

"Betis has also just started the season and drew 1-1 with Girona. Based on this match, we showed the guys how Betis can attack and defend. We also watched a few moments from the summer training camp when they were preparing for the La Liga season. We know that the Spaniards played Manchester United - 2-3, Liverpool - 0-1. We have the information. It is clear that the team is very strong. We are waiting for the confrontation. We'll see our readiness and whether we can put up a fight against such an opponent," Vernydub said at the pre-match press conference.
