The Azzurrini go into the game with a 1-0 advantage from the first-leg, but the former Palermo Coach has advised his players against complacency for tomorrow's game at the Guldfageln Arena.

“We did what was expected in the first match,” he told a Press conference today. “But now we have to try and limit their potential, without altering our own game.

“This game is important and getting to the tournament is important. We must avoid making the same mistakes we have made in the past.”
