- Competition: UEFA Europa Conference League - Qualifiers
- Date: Thursday, 17th, July 2025
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
- Venue: Vid Djupumyrar (Klaksvik)
Klaksvik will look to protect their narrow one-goal lead when they host SJK in the second leg of the UEFA Conference League on Thursday at Vid Djupumyrar.
Against all expectations, the representatives from the Faroe Islands battled their way to a deserved 2-1 away win over SJK last week, with Gaston Tellechea delivering the knockout punch in the dying minutes of regular time to seal the deal. A slender lead and home advantage may favor Klaksvik on paper, but the task ahead is anything but straightforward, as the Finnish outfit arrives fired up to right their wrongs and settle the score after falling short in the first leg.
Klaksvik vs SJK Betting Tips : BTTS - YES
Heading into the second leg of the UECL qualifiers, Klaksvik hold all the cards with the scoreline, momentum and the backing of their home crowd on their side, but the Finnish outfit won’t wave the white flag just yet which sets the stage for another tightly contested and thrilling Nordic battle. Judging by their current form, Klaksvik looks like the clear favorite to advance to the second round of UEFA's third-tier qualifiers, having demonstrated undeniable dominance throughout 2025 by remaining unbeaten in all 21 matches this term and solved even 18 of those in a winning manner. Given Klaksvik's rampant form, there's no doubt SJK will need a special performance just to keep a faint hope alive in Thursday's contest, but their shaky record away from home, with barely one registered victory in the last six visits, adds further doubt to their chances. To make things tougher for the Finns, they highly vulnerable backline, having conceded at least twice in five straight away trips, seriously hindered their chances of securing a win on hostile ground, although we believe they still have enough firepower to threaten Klaksvik's defense, but not enough to hope for a victory as the Faroese are expected to bring them on the knees again in what promises to be a goal-filled affair.

SJK team news
Summer signings Murilo and Armaan Wilson arrived at SJK nursing minor injuries, which limited their minutes in the first leg against Klaksvik, but both hope to play a bigger role in the second leg.
Despite his team suffering a narrow 2-1 defeat to the Faroe Islands last week, manager Stevie Grieve is unlikely to make significant changes for Thursday’s match.
