​HIK Helsinki vs Farul Konstanz, Conference League playoff second leg, scheduled for Thursday, August 31 at 7:00 p.m. at the Bolt Arena and broadcast live at the Pro Arena.

Farul Constanta has a great chance to reach the groups of the European tournament for the first time after winning the first match at home against HIK Helsinki, score 2-1 (Rivaldinho 58, M. Popescu 82 / Toivio 50).

The 2022 Finnish Championship (spring-autumn) champions HIK Helsinki started the European season in the Champions League where they beat Larne (Northern Ireland) 1-0 (a ) and 2-2 (d) in the first preliminary round, relegating them to in the second preliminary round against “Molde” (Norway), 1-0 (a) and 0-2 (d) – and continued their performance in the Europa League, where they lost in the third preliminary round against “Karabakh” (Azerbaijan), 1- 2 (a) and 1-2 (d), thereby “relegating” to the Conference League playoffs.

HIK Helsinki are the leaders this season, after 21 stages, with 43 points, one more than the second-placed KuPS Kupio, and they won 3-1 in Oulu in their last league match.

This summer, the Finns are coached by Toni Korkeakunnas, the team’s former secondary in recent years, who won the Finnish Cup in 2015 with FC Lahti.

Farul Konstanza was eliminated in the first preliminary round of the Champions League by Sherif Tiraspol (Moldova) with a score of 1-0 (a) and 0-3 (d), after which he continued his European adventure in the Conference League, where he went to Urartu in the second preliminary round Yerevan (Armenia), 3-2 (a) and 3-2 (d), and in the third preliminary round, Flora Tallinn (Estonia), 3-0 (a) and 2-0 (d). ).

Domestically, Gike Hagi’s team has been quite disappointing as they lost the Romanian Super Cup 0-1 in Ploiesti with Sepsi and in the Super League they have three wins and three losses and in their last match they won at home against Craiova University, goal 2-0.

It should be noted that “Farul Constanta” won five consecutive victories in the previous Conference League tournaments and scored at least two goals in each match against “Urartu” (Yerevan), “Flora” Tallinn and HIK Helsinki.

“We got the first victory, and we’ll see what we do on Thursday in Helsinki. We want to go there and be ourselves, play our game. We will try to play the same way there, I am not complaining that we play synthetically. With bitumen, with synthetics, you have to have the ability to adapt, regardless of the surface you’re playing on,” said Gicke Hagi.
