-       We are all eagerly awaiting tomorrow's match. We weren't favored by luck when it comes to the draw, because Haugesund is a serious opponent. However, we have gathered a lot of information about the opponent in the last seven days. We are a team that can advance to the third round of the Europa League. Competition within the team is positive and very healthy - says Abdulah Ibraković, FK Sarajevo's sports director.

Sarajevo coach, Dženan Uščuplić, said that he has not yet made a final decision about the starting eleven.

-       We had adequate preparations, the best conditions and organization. I am glad that we played several matches against strong opponents and that we are ready for the match with the Norwegians. We want to continue what we did last season. We will not deviate from our formation. Todorović and Vusljanin will not be in contention for the match scheduled for tomorrow. Everyone else is ready - said Uščuplić.
