KI Klaksvik – Haecken

The opponents will score at least once each in the Faroe Islands

Last season, Klaksvik once again won the Faroe Islands championship. Despite the usual outsider status of this country's national team and its clubs in European tournaments, it is now 40th in the UEFA coefficient table. In the first round of the current Champions League qualification the glorious Ferencvaros were not alarmed by the fact that Klaksvik met almost the strongest club of the stage - Budø/Glimt - in the last qualifying round of the elite European tournament at the first stage, beating them in one of the matches with the score 3:1. That victory prevented the Faroese champion from progressing further, but the experience gained was fully utilised in the current draw. It was Klaksvik who were the main sensation at the start of qualification, when they defended a 0-0 home defeat to Hungarian champions and then shocked Cherchesov's fans at their stadium. The Faroese club scored three times in the first half against Ferencvaros and then had no problems keeping the winning score at 3-0 in the second half. Underlines the confidence of the Klaksvik players and total dominance in the national championship, where the team won all sixteen matches of the current season. Bookmakers are not convinced by such statistics of the leader of Faroese football, so the favorite for the upcoming meeting is the guests, whose victory can be bet at odds of 1.72. Hecken before the start of the last season was headed by a great Norwegian coach Per-Mathias Høgmo. During the first Swedish championship under his leadership, he created a capable team in Gothenburg, which reached the Allsvenskan for the first time in its history. In the current Swedish championship, the Wasps are performing quite well, being after the first round in the top three teams along with Malmo and Elfsborg. A distinctive feature of Hecken in the current season is high efficiency, which averages more than two and a half goals per match. In the first round of qualification, Wasps dealt with Welsh New Saints with a 5-1 aggregate score. In the last round of the Allsvenskan Hecken lost to lowly Vernamo, apparently to prepare for the upcoming Champions League clash. The two distinctive teams will definitely be battling for life and at least once each will score a goal.
