International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both KÍ and Dinamo Tbilisi are looking forward to this Europa League fight to decide who advances from the 3rd Qualifying Round.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a David Kipiani Cup game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Saburtalo. 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.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Dinamo Tbilisi's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Dinamo Tbilisi have performed like this: Played five matches resulting in 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats with the goal stats 9-5 (scored/conceded).
These teams have little in common geographically as Dinamo Tbilisi have to travel 5200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
KÍ form and stats
KÍ participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the 2nd qualifying round.KÍ have performed here at Tórsvøllur this season with 7 wins from 9 Meistaradeildin matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 1. KÍ has won so many consecutive home games (six in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Tórsvøllur. We remember; it was NSI.
Nothing to worry about in defence for KÍ, as their goalkeeper Kristian Joensen has completely shut out the opponents for 194 minutes in the Meistaradeildin.
The home team returns to Tórsvøllur after being equal after 90 minutes with TB on their last time out; the Meistaradeildin game ended 0-0. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Skala.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Meistaradeildin game versus AB in only two days. This game is also played here at Tórsvøllur.
Goals are plentiful at Tórsvøllur in the league this season as KÍ has scored 23 goals here in 9 home games. KÍ have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Dinamo Tbilisi form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Connah's Quay in order to reach 3rd Qualifying Round of Europa League. Tbilisi was sent out of Europa League in the 3rd qualifying round last season.Dinamo Tbilisi's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Dinamo Tbilisi collect 14 points from their 6 away matches in the Erovnuli Liga. 4 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 0 defeats).
Dinamo Tbilisi lost away at Saburtalo (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Prior to that result Tbilisi won their away game at Connah's Quay in the Europa League. The scoreline was 1-0.
The Tbilisi manager K. Chkhetiani has got the team scoring on the road, with 12 away goals in 6 league matches. Tbilisi are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 2 goals away.
