NK Maribor is playing against FC Zurich in second match of 3rd round of qualifications for UEFA Champions League (Wednesday, 05/08/09 20:15). Match will be played on Ljudski vrt stadium, Maribor.
NK Maribor has surprised on first match in Zurich in the game of changes, where the Swiss champions underestimated Slovenian champions. The match was full of changes and mistakes of both teams. NK Maribor is a team that has 10-years ago also surprised on the match against French champions Lyon, which also underestimated Maribor. Despite the victory in the Zurich, the match in Maribor will be very difficult for the locals, but tickets for the match were sold out three days before the match, so stadium in Ljudski vrt will be completely full with home fans. 12,000 tickets was sold. Of these, 500 are fans from Zurich. In Maribor will be a very difficult game, because Zurich will have to play to win and with two goals differences. Team NK Maribor is playing with all needed players and will play above their avarage with such of support of their fans. My bet is, despite cheering on Maribor, draw, even defeat for 1 goal, take us forward. 10 years ago we were on the same position and I believe in Maribor and re success.
