It's game one of two in the Europa Conference League as AIK host Skendija 79. This is a 3rd Qualifying Round fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.

These teams have little in common geographically as Skendija 79 have to travel 3500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

AIK and Skendija 79 should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
