Match preview

Silkeborg are back in Europe, so will it be a return to remember?

Last season, they finished third in the Danish Superligaen as a newly-promoted club, so are back in UEFA competition for the first time since 2001.

Aside from the Intertoto Cup, Silkeborg have only ever won two ties in Europe, beating Crusaders in 1995 and Mura three years later.

This season though, regardless of what happens in this one, Kent Nielsen’s team will compete in a maiden group stage.

So, with very little pressure, can the Danish side spring a surprise?

HJK meantime have vastly more experience on the continent, having already played six matches this season alone.

The 31-times Veikkausliiga winners featured in last season’s Europa Conference League group phase, having previously made it to the Champions League in 1998 and the Europa League in 2014.

Toni Koskela’s team will compete in big-time European football again this season, but are hoping to remain in the second-tier tournament.

Who will win this all-Nordic affair at Töölön jalkapallostadion?
