KI Klaksvik vs Lille Prediction & Betting Tips - Conference League

It’s a momentous occasion for the Faroe Islands as they host a UEFA competition group stage match for the first time on Thursday. KI Klaksvik will play Lille in Torshavn on matchday two of the Group A action in the Europa Conference League with the hosts on zero and the visitors on three points. Ki started their campaign with a 2-1 loss to Slovan Bratislava on matchday one. It was an even first-half in that match which burst to life in the second-half. Ki took a lead through a 48th minute goal but Slovan responded with two goals before the 75th minute to settle the game. The hosts, however, improved since then winning their three domestic games in a row. With the side already making history as the first Faraoese team to reach the group stages of a UEFA competition, the onus is on Ki to make it even more memorable.

Lille started their first-ever Europa Conference League campaign with a 2-0 win over Olimpija Ljubljana on matchday one. Goals from either half were enough to win three points for them that day. The French visitors are back in Europe after a one-year hiatus, as they didn’t play any UEFA competition last season. Yet, their recent form has been up and down to raise a bit of concern in the visiting camp. Lille followed up their win on matchday one with a 2-1 loss to Reims and a 2-0 win over Le Havre in the domestic league games. That keeps them waiting for consecutive wins for the first time since late August – when they won two in a row. Following their qualifying campaign, Lille have won two and drawn one of their matches this season in this competition.
