AIK Fotboll will welcome Vorskla Poltava to the Friends Arena for the second leg of their second qualifying round of the Europa Conference League on Wednesday.
The two sides were involved in a thrilling first leg that left AIK Fotboll with a one-goal deficit as the fixture ended in a 3-2 win in favor of Vorskla.
However, AIK’s two goals in the first leg were crucial for them and is a positive sign ahead of the return leg. The Swedish outfit have reached the playoff round of the Europa League the last three times and will want to continue that run in the Conference League.
Gnaget are coming off a 3-2 away win against Varnamo in the Swedish Allsvenkan, which is a good confidence booster ahead of the crucial Conference League encounter in Wednesday.
Meanwhile Vorskla Poltava will be happy with their one-goal advantage ahead of the second leg. They now just need a draw to advance to the third qualifying round of the Conference League.
Poltava have not been in action since the first leg and will be more well-rested on Wednesday, but considering what is at stake we expect the visitors to have a tough time at Friends Arena.
