"The Canaries" they are visiting the team in a rematch from the first preliminary round of the Europa League, and the people of Plovdiv are leading 2:1 in the battle.
"We are going to Slovenia for a positive result. The first half is over, now is the second half. We have to be focused and play a better game if we want to continue. We have no new injury problems. Atanas Chernev and Alexa Marash, who does not have a visa, will be missing. The rest are ready to play," Kerkez said.
"Everyone is looking ahead, we know that it is not easy in Europe. We know that Maribor has a lot of experience and it will be a battle. I believe the details will be what will decide who moves forward. If we want to proceed to the next round, we have to score. We saw what mistakes we made, now we have to be concentrated for all 90, maybe more minutes", Kerkez said when the team left for Slovenia.
