Molde host the first leg in this deciding Europa Conference League 3rd Qualifying Round game. Várda SE will try their very best to bring a solid result back to Várkert Sportpálya before the return leg in 8 days.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2400 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

It's no vacation for neither Molde nor Várda SE 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.
