KI Klaksvi welcome Ballkani to Vio Djupumyrar for the Europa Conference League third qualifying round second leg on Thursday.
KI Klaksvi lost the first leg but there is hope for a positive outcome in the reverse fixture considering their brilliant showing in Pristina.
The Faroe Islands Premier League champions came from behind to force a 3-2 scoreline in favor of Ballkani. KÍ have made major progress so far by reaching this stage of the competition. Last term, they were knocked out in the first qualifying round. If they can repeat a similar show of character from the first leg, they could edge the challenge of the visitors to reach the playoffs.
Trending
Ballkani literally went to sleep after hitting three past their visitors under the hour mark. They thought they had put the game to bed and could manage the remainder of the encounter without issues. However, KÍ got back on their feet and took charge in the last 30 minutes, pulling back two goals and could have even leveled. It’s a tough lesson for Xhebrailat as they set out for Klaksvík. They have a slim lead to safeguard and will likely not be on the defensive. They will push for goals in view of holding back the home side.
KI will hit the ground running in a bid to quickly even the aggregate score while the visitors will do their best to resist the initial onslaught.
