The home team makes their debut in this edition of the UEFA Champions League, aiming to leverage their home advantage for a positive result. Having recently suffered a home defeat to Gent (0-3), Vikingur has won 1 and lost 1 of their last 2 home matches across all competitions. Their defensive solidity has been a concern, conceding goals in 3 of their last 4 matches, yet their attack is reliable, scoring in 3 of those same games.
Vikingur Gøta enters this first qualification match for the Champions League following their triumph in the 2024 Faroese Championship. Under the guidance of Jóhan Poulsen, the team typically adopts a classic 4-3-3 formation, with Poul Kallsberg, Jakup Johansen, and Jørgen Nielsen forming the attacking trio. They aim to exploit spaces between lines and pose constant threats to the opposing goal. Offensively, they favour the right flank, taking advantage of the surging runs from Ari Olsen. All players are available for this challenge.
