Competition: Europe Champions League

Match begins: 19:30 (UTC)
Venue: Víkingsvöllur (1449 seats)

The first leg ended Malmö FF-Víkingur Reykjavík 3-2. All is set for the decider in this Champions League 1st Qualifying Round fixture!

These teams have little in common geographically as Malmö FF have to travel 2700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It's no vacation for neither Víkingur Reykjavík nor Malmö FF 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.

Víkingur Reykjavík form and stats

Víkingur Reykjavík have not come this way in the Champions League without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Levadia and Inter Club d'Escaldes. Víkingur Reykjavík was eliminated in the 1st qualifying round last season in the Europa League.

Víkingur Reykjavík are steadily winning Pepsideild games and points here at Víkingsvöllur. 5 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 7 games. This match is a Champions League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss in this competition.

A nice win for Reykjavík last time playing, versus IA. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with Andrason, Tómasson and Agnarsson scoring for the victors. Manager Gunnlaugsson felt very clever after Agnarsson scored the winning goal against IA, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 61st minute.

Víkingur Reykjavík are traveling soon after this match as the Pepsideild match at FH awaits in four days.

Goals are plentiful at Víkingsvöllur in the league this season as Reykjavík has scored 19 goals here in 7 home games.

Malmö FF form and stats

Malmö FF was sent out of Champions League in the group stage last season.

As the visiting team in Allsvenskan matches, Malmö FF have produced an overall stat of 2-2-3 so far.

Malmö FF had fun at their own home (Víkingsvöllur) last time out, beating Varberg 3-0. Birmančević, Berget and Christiansen scored. Midfield player Berget was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.45/10. Berget scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes and had 52 successful passes (of 60 total).

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Malmö FF manager Milojevic as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Norrköping.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Malmö as they have only managed to score 4 times from 7 away games in the league. 8 goals have been conceded by Malmö FF in these games.

Head 2 Head

The last head-to-head meeting ended Malmö FF - Reykjavík 3-2, earlier this season.
