Competition: Europe Europa League
Competition: Thu 24.Aug
Match begins: 18:45 (UTC)

KÍ and Sheriff will play at least 180 minutes of football to decide who advances from this Europa League Play-offs battle. Get ready for the first 90 minutes!

This field has artifical turf, which is not Sheriff's regular surface at their own stadium. When playing on artifical turf Sheriff have performed like this: Played six matches resulting in 3 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats with the goal difference 10-3 (scored/conceded).

It's quite the trip for Sheriff when visiting KÍ as the cities are 3500 kilometers apart.

It's no vacation for neither KÍ nor Sheriff 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.

KÍ form and stats

KÍ participated in Champions League the last season, where they reached the 1st qualifying round and lost against Bodø / Glimt.

Home games in the Meistaradeildin have been a walk in the park for KÍ so far, with 25 points won from 9 matches; 8 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for KÍ, who played 1-1 against 07 Vestur. That match was also played at this venue

Before that game, a defeat in the away fixture against Molde (after extra-time) in the Champions League.

The match schedule is unforgiving for KÍ as they have a new game in only two days, a Meistaradeildin match thankfully also at home. EB / Streymur are visiting.

KÍ can score goals in their home matches. After 9 league matches they have found the net 19 times. Defensively KÍ have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (4 in 9 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Sheriff form and stats

The traveling awayteam has defeated BATE in order to reach play-offs of Europa League. They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the group stage.

Sheriff are yet to lose a point on their National Division travels this season with 2 wins from 2 away games.

The Sheriff goalkeeper Maksym Koval is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 628 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

The supporters enjoyed Sheriff's previous fixture versus Dacia-Buiucani, a 5-0 win played at home. As mentioned above, Sheriff was the only team on the pitch versus Dacia-Buiucani in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.

Before that, 2-2 away against BATE in the Europa League.

The schedule is very tough for Sheriff now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A National Division game at Milsami is waiting in only three days.

{3 goals} so far away for Sheriff, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 2 league matches away.

Read more about Europa League

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
