KKS Lech have a real livewire in Waalemark
Lech style
Niels Frederiksen's Lech are a high-tempo, transition-based soccer team with lots of width and pressing prowess when they can get their wing-backs high up the field.
- Patrik Waalemark is their livewire and has scored 3 of Lech's goals in their last 5 matches.
KÍ setup
KI Klaksvík are a compact, 3-4-3 unit who maintain their shape well, are very fast in transition, especially at the front where Pall Klettskard is their main threat. KÍ are very dangerous on direct and set pieces and Powell's men counter quickly.
KÍ will keep the score down
Both Over 2.5 goals at 1.38 and Both Teams To Score (BTTS) are the main selections for this one, with BTTS No still looking like the better option at 1.67.
The game looks set up to be a classic clash of styles where Lech will want to force the pace while KÍ will want to keep it tight and let the visitors come onto them. Lech are definitely the more likely to win this one and have the number advantage, but we think KÍ's structure and game plan should be able to keep it close.
