Breidablik welcome Drita to Kopavogsvollur for the first leg of their UEFA Conference League second-round qualification tie on Thursday. The hosts are coming off a 4-2 victory over Drita at the same venue in the Besta Deild Karla over the weekend.
Kristinn Steindorsson and Hoskuldur Gunnlaugsson scored a goal each while Benjamin Stoke added a brace to put the hosts 4-1 up. Luke Rae scored a brace of his own for the visitors to make the scoreline more respectable.
Blikar got to this stage with a 5-4 aggregate victory over Tikves in the first round of the qualifiers. They suffered a 3-2 defeat in North Macedonia in the first leg and followed it up with a 3-1 home win in the second leg.
Drita received a bye to this stage courtesy of their third-placed finish in the Football Superleague of Kosovo last season.
They played out a 1-1 draw against Arda in a friendly a fortnight ago. They went behind to Tonislav Yordanov's 14th-minute strike while Veton Tusha drew the game level in the 80th minute.
The winner of this tie will face either Cliftonville or Auda in the next round of the qualifiers.

Breidablik made history when they became the first Icelandic club to compete in the group stage of a UEFA club competition, doing so in the Conference League last season. They took a major step towards repeating this feat when they overcame a first-leg deficit in the last round.
Drita, for their part, have competed in all four editions of the Conference League but have never advanced beyond this stage of the qualifiers.
