Tobol and Honka will play at least 180 minutes of football to decide who advances from this Europa Conference League 1st Qualifying Round battle. Get ready for the first 90 minutes!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Honka have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 3-4-6 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 3100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Tobol and Honka. It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Veikkausliiga. That game was also an away game, at SJK. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
