Match preview
Having left Iceland 3-1 winners last Thursday, İstanbul Başakşehir can, almost, being planning for the play-offs.
A week ago, goals from Danijel Aleksić and then Deniz Türüç saw the Turkish visitors race into a 2-0 lead at Kópavogsvöllur.
Viktor Karl Einarsson did managed to half the deficit, only for Aleksić to restore İstanbul Başakşehir’s two-goal cushion in stoppage time.
So, for Breiðablik to have any chance of progressing, haha would need to witness a miraculous comeback.
İstanbul Başakşehir have featured in two Europa League and one Champions League group stage since making their debut in UEFA competition as recently as 2015.
If Emre Belözoğlu’s side can further improve that ratio, they’ll get through.
Breiðablik meanwhile reached the third qualifying round for the very first time 12 months ago before being ousted by Aberdeen.
Having got here again, beating Santa Coloma and Budućnost Podgorica, it looks like being a similar story for the Icelandic club.
The reward for the winners at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu is a Europa Conference League play-off round date with Royal Antwerp or Lillestrøm.
