Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
KA Akureyri will be looking to claim a major scalp in the Conference League second qualifying round when they face Silkeborg at Akureyrarvollur on Thursday. Against all odds, KA Akureyri managed to hold Silkeborg to a draw in Denmark, but the Icelanders are still seen as the underdogs in this double-header. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the decider.
Kent Nielsen’s troops, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest and they must be low on confidence following a 2-0 loss to Fredericia. Yet another close encounter is on the cards at Akureyrarvollur and we predict that the winner will be decided after extra-time or penalties. Both Alexander Madsen and Pontus Rodin are out of contention with injuries for the away team, while experienced defender Jens Martin Gammelby is pushing for a start.
