CSKA 1948 is the favorite, and Iliev says his team doesn't feel the pressure.

We are full of confidence and expect to play a good game and achieve a good result. We will not lack motivation and I hope we will succeed to achieve our goal," says Iliev.
Everyone in Budućnost hopes that this double match will be settled in Podgorica, and Iliev is of the same opinion.
