"Sabah is a very good team," said Israeli Channel 1 reporter Liat Bitan.

Sharing her first impressions of Baku, she noted: "It’s my first day here, but Baku looks amazing. I’m very excited about the game and already enjoying my stay. The people are extremely nice, helpful, and hospitable."

When discussing both teams' chances, Bitan added: "I’m a bit nervous. To be honest, I’m a fan of Hapoel Beer Sheva, so I won’t mention my team’s name for good luck. However, Sabah is a very strong team, and they certainly have what it takes to succeed today."

The match kicks off tonight at 20:45.
