KIKI and Malmo trade tackles in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round on Tuesday (July 30). The visitors hold a comfortable 4-1 advantage after their rousing win in the first leg in Sweden last week.
They were 3-0 up at the break, courtesy of Lasse Johnsen's brace and Hugo Bolin's 37th-minute strike. Soren Rieks wrapped up the scoring in the 85th minute after Arni Frederiksberg had pulled one back for Klaksvik.
Malmo followed up their continental victory with a surprise 1-0 home defeat to Sirius in the Swedish Allsvanskan. Leo Walta's 51st-minute strike was the difference between the two sides.
The Blue Ones will hope to bounce back in Europe, having received a bye to this stage. Klaksvik, meanwhile, got here courtesy of their 2-0 aggregate win over Differdange in the last qualifying round. A 2-0 home win was followed by a goalless draw in Luxembourg.
The winner of this tie will face PAOK or Borac BB in the next round of qualifiers.
KIKI vs Malmo Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Last week's clash was the maiden meeting between the two sides.
- Five of Klaksvik's last seven competitive games have produced over 2.5 goals.
- Eight of Malmo's last nine games across competitions have produced at least three goals.
- Klaksvik have lost one of their 11 home games in UEFA club competitions, winning six.
- Malmo are unbeaten in three games against Faroese opposition, winning twice.
- Five of Klaksvik's last six home games in UEFA competitions have produced over 1.5 goals.
KIKI vs Malmo Prediction
Klaksvik memorably became the first club from the Faroe Islands to qualify for the group stage of a UEFA competition when they competed in the UEFA Europ Conference League last season. They eliminated Swedish side Hacken at this stage of the Champions League en-route that feat, but a repeat is unlikely.
Malmo have a comfortable three-goal lead, so barring a spectacular implosio, they should scale through to the next round without any hiccups.
The visitors have superior quality and experience, so they could force a share of the spoils, with goals at both ends.
