Klaksvik will host Molde FK in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League third qualification round at the Tórsvøllur on Tuesday. Both sides are coming after playing in the second round of the qualification phase. Klaksvik won the second round against Hacken. While Molde won comfortably after initial hiccups against Swedish side HJK. Talking about their domestic league results, Klaksvik won in the domestic Premier League against HB Torshavn. On the other hand, Molde won easily against Stabæk Fotball in the Eliteserien.
KI Klaksvik will become the first-ever Faroese side to compete in the third round of Champions League qualifying. The 20-time national champions stunned Ferencvaros 3-0 on aggregate in round one. The shades of that result were evident when Magne Hoseth’s side faced Hacken in round two. Once again Klaksvik played out a scoreless stalemate on their own territory. The Faroese side then netted another three goals away from home. Hoseth’s men have been granted a break from their Faroe Islands Premier League title defence in order to make waves in Europe. The main task for Klaksvik will be to script history in the continental tournament.
Aiming to end the KI fairytale is a Molde side who knows what it takes to reach the group stages of Europe’s elite tournaments. Molde failed to make it out of their Europa Conference League section last year. Their continental adventure this time around was at risk of a premature end thanks to a 1-0 loss to HJK in their opening second-round affair. Following an underwhelming start to their Eliteserien title defence, the Norwegian side will look to brush aside their previous results and perform at the highest level.
