last updated Wednesday 04th September 2002, 9:01 AM
Hajduk Split coach Zoran Vulic has insisted that his side are in shape to end Fulham's bid for UEFA Cup glory.

The Croatian side were drawn to face Jean Tigana's English Premiership outfit in the first round and will play host to the London club on September 19 for the first leg.

And although Fulham may be seen by many as favourites for the tie, Vulic does not see it that way.

"I think we can eliminate Fulham," he said.

"We have equal chances. If we win the first leg, it will be very close."

Hajduk's general manager Ivica Surjak was equally optimistic and is looking forward to the tie.

"This draw is not so bad, but we must attack very hard in the first leg," he said. "Anyway, these will be spectacular matches."

And club president Branko Grgic added: "The opponent is attractive, just what we wanted. I think we can beat the English."
