Markarian had this to say "The chance for advancement is 50-50. I believe we can do it. Anderlecht is a good team with good players. As is the same with us. We have a lot of time to get information on our opponent. The good thing as well is that we know who our opponents will be for the next round if we advance. These games with Anderlecht are far away. First comes the game with Xanthi, which is a good team and very organized. The game is more difficult for us as wwe are playing away."
