Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Vikingur Rejkjavik will be looking to defend their slim lead in the Europa Conference League tie with Malisheva as the two teams face each other at Víkingsvöllur in the second leg. Nikolaj Hansen’s goal on the stroke of half-time separated the two sides in the first leg. As a result, the Icelanders are seen as hot favourites to win this double-header and progress to the second qualifying round. Solvi Ottesen is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Malisheva in Kosovo.
The visitors, on the other hand, face an uphill task in the return leg, especially with Vikingur boasting experienced names like former Tottenham star Gylfi Sigurdsson. Vikingur are a real force to be reckoned with at home and we predict that the hosts will give fans yet another reason to celebrate on Thursday evening. There are no injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Iceland.
