Match preview
After last Thursday’s emphatic victory in Stavanger, Viking can all-but look forward to the next round.
A week ago, Zlatko Tripić, Samúel Friðjónsson, Maï Traoré, Niklas Sandberg and Edvin Austbø were all on target as the Norwegian side cruised to a 5-0 lead.
David Cawley did get one back late on for Sligo Rovers, but this is unlikely to help their hopes of a comeback.
So far in this European run, the Irish side have beaten Bala Town on penalties before causing a big shock by hammering Motherwell 3-0.
This is the first time ever the Bit O’Red have won multiple European ties within the same season, but this tie has proved a bridge too far.
In the last round, the Dark Blues were responsible for a massive upset, dumping out Sparta Prague.
Now, Viking are looking to leave the Showgrounds unscathed.
They’re already looking ahead to a Europa Conference League play-off tie against Steaua București or FC DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda.
