Club Brugge host the first leg in this deciding Europa Conference League 3rd Qualifying Round game. KA will try their very best to bring a solid result back to Akureyrarvöllur before the return leg in 9 days.
These teams have little in common geographically as KA have to travel 3000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It's no vacation for neither Club Brugge nor KA as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

KA form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Dundalk and Connah's Quay in order to reach 3rd qualifying round of Europa Conference League.There's been little loot from KA's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the Pepsideild. KA only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws. Total Europa Conference League statistics for KA: 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.
There might be some fixture complaints from KA as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 2-4 against Valur. As you can tell from the result, the match against Valur was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Preceding that, 2-2 away against Dundalk in the Europa Conference League.
After this away game KA return home for a Pepsideild game against Breidablik. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The KA manager Jónasson has some worries about the defense as 19 goals have been conceded in these travels.
