Baird insists Fulham can shock Juventus

Chris Baird says Fulham can go into their Europa League clash with Juventus confident of a shock.

The Cottagers must overcome a 3-1 deficit at Craven Cottage this week.

"The first match was a very tough game for us, we knew about the quality they had and they showed it in the first leg," he told the club's official website.

"But I still think we've got a great chance bringing them back to our place. We'll be up for the game and we're confident that we can get a result and keep going in this competition.

"It was nice to get back to 2-1 after what happened for their goals.

"Conceding that goal before half-time knocked us back a bit. But in all fairness, we came out in the second-half, played a lot better and created a few chances.

"If we can continue that, especially with the game being at home, I think we've got a great chance.

"Coming to places like Craven Cottage is intimidating for teams like Juve. We're looking forward to the game.

"We know the threat they're going to pose to us but it's another great game to play in and hopefully we'll get the right result for Fulham."
