KI Klaksvik vs Lech Poznan

KI Klaksvik will look to overturn a one-goal deficit when they host Lech Poznan at their usual home in Klaksvík, the 4,000-capacity Injector Arena, in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round on Thursday evening. The Polish side claimed a narrow 1-0 victory in the first leg at Enea Stadion a week ago, Yannick Agnero’s 81st-minute strike separating the sides.

KI midfielder Hallur Hansson is suspended after picking up his third yellow card of the qualifying campaign against Kauno Zalgiris in the Champions League. Hampus Nasstrom or Rene Joensen are expected to deputise in the middle of the park. Veteran forward Pall Klettskard arrives in strong form, having scored in three of his last five appearances across all competitions. There is also a doubt over Jákup Andreasen, a key organiser in the home side’s midfield; his absence would force a reshuffle in the engine room.

Lech Poznan are dealing with an injury to Filip Jagietto, who was forced off early in their weekend league match. Radoslaw Murawski or Pablo Rodriguez should step into the midfield, with manager Frederiksen weighing up whether to stick with a 4-4-2 or revert to a 4-2-3-1. New signing Allahyar Sayyadmanesh opened his account for the club last time out and will again support captain Mikael Ishak in attack.
