The Champions League Qualifiers match between Kl Klaksvik and Hacken will take place at Djupumyra Stadium on Thursday at 12:15 am IST.
In an eventful midweek of Champions League round two qualifiers, KI Klaksvik aims to maintain their remarkable undefeated run as they prepare to host Hacken at Djupumyra Stadium on Wednesday evening. KI Klaksvik enters the match on the back of a convincing 3-0 aggregate victory against Ferencvaros, who have won the Hungarian league 34 times. Meanwhile, Hacken secured their spot in this round by defeating The New Saints, the champions of the Welsh league, with a convincing 5-1 scoreline over two legs.
Ki Klaksvik, the reigning Faroe Islands Premier League champions, are making their fifth Champions League qualifiers appearance, reaching the second round for only the second time. They impressively held Ferencvaros to a goalless draw in the first leg and secured a remarkable 3-0 victory in the second leg. Their recent form is outstanding, with 13 unbeaten matches, including 12 wins and a draw. In the league, they maintain a perfect record with 16 wins in 16 matches, boasting a 12-point lead over the second-placed team. At home, they are unbeaten in 10 matches, keeping seven clean sheets. After eliminating a strong team in the previous round, Ki Klaksvik is emerging as a potential dark horse in the competition.
Hacken had a comfortable 3-1 lead against the Welsh champions in the last round and extended it to 4-1 with three early goals in the second match. After finishing 12th in 2021, they bounced back by winning the 2022 Allsvenskan. This season, Hacken is in a three-way battle for the league lead, with IF Elfsborg currently ahead by four points, and Malmo level on points with a game in hand. A recent 1-0 loss to Varnamo ended their four-match winning streak, and the short turnaround between matches may impact them. Despite a positive start in the qualifiers, they shouldn’t underestimate their opponents’ abilities.
Ki Klaksvik probable starting lineup: Johansson, Pavlovic, Vatnsdal, Petersen, Danielsen, Andreasen, Joensen, Da Silva, Frederiksberg, Kronberg, Gussias
Hacken probable starting lineup: Abrahamsson, Fridriksson, Uchenna, Hovland, Hansen, Rygaard, Sa Gustafson, Layouni, Sadiq, Trpcevski, Sana
