KÍ Klaksvik
On Tuesday, 7 July, Faroese side KI Klaksvik and Luxembourg's Atert Bissen will meet in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. The game will be played at the Vid Djupumyrar Stadium and will kick off at 19:45 BST.
The Faroese flagship regularly reaches the closing stages of European qualifying. A year ago, it was left on the brink of reaching the league phase of the UEFA Conference League, so it is now important for the team to start qualifying confidently against an opponent that is not among the most dangerous.
Physical condition is, of course, in KI Klaksvik's favour before this head-to-head battle. The Faroese championship did not go into a summer break - after the international pause in early June, the team played six matches in the league and domestic cup. Last Friday, the Blues failed to get the better of their main title-race rivals NSI Runavik (0:0), but they looked more solid away from home (11-5 on shots).
Powell's men have an advantage in personnel - the Faroese club's squad is worth more (3.3 million euros compared with 2.6). Yes, the difference is small, but 22% of the total value at this level should still tell. Especially as Atert Bissen have had only one official match since the end of May. Pereira's team dealt with Differdange 03 in the Luxembourg Super Cup (2:1 after a penalty shootout) - both sides scored early goals, then looked blunt in attack because of a lack of match fitness.
Atert Bissen will miss attacking midfielder Santos, and without him the depth of the front line suffers. It is clear that a club who have spent only one year in Luxembourg's top division will not have enough class to reach the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. KI Klaksvik are noticeably more experienced and more cohesive in European competition. We are backing the hosts to win.
