Dundalk vs KI Klaksvik Predictions, Tips & Predictions

Dundalk KI Klaksvik
UEFA Europa League
Date: Thursday, October 1, 2024
Starts at 19pm UK / 30pm CET
Location: Oriel Park.

Football in the Faroe Islands is still considered to be in the development stage, and teams are often players from other teams in major competitions.

Kudos to Mikkjal Thomassen's men for coming this far, but they are in no condition to face an Irish heavyweight like the Lilywhites, let alone on the road.

Filippo Giovagnoli's men are Irish First Division champions and they did it in style. On the way to the title, he conceded goals at a rate of just 0,5 per game and scored more than 2 per game.

They were 11 points clear of arch-rivals Shamrock Rovers, who finished second, and 26 points clear of Bohemians in third place.

They are now just 90 minutes away from being thrust into the Europa League mix and, at no cost, they will allow a side from the lowly Faroe Islands to derail their plans.

• This is the first h2h meeting between the two teams.

Dundalk vs KÍ: Prediction

The Lilywhites had won four of their previous five games, with two of those wins coming in the Europa League playoffs.

At home, they've been at their best for the last year. In fact, they've only lost once at this venue since August 2019, and even that loss 13 months ago was at EL.

Meanwhile, their opponents have been winless in two of their previous five games, and have remained so in two of their last three trips.

Most importantly, their main drawback is the fact that they are top of the line in the Faroe Islands and in order to keep moving forward they are also on the road.

There is little or no chance Thomassen's men will make further progress. Expect Dundalk to post a comfortable win this Thursday.
