Levadia take on the visitors Vikingur Reykjavik in semifinal of preliminary stage of UEFA Champions League. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 21st at Víkingsvöllur (Reykjavík).
Levadia have secured the status of one of the giants of Estonian football. Being founded in 1998, in the next draw it turned out to take the 1st "gold". In total, there are 10 titles in the asset, and the same number of cups. However, dominance was unconditional only until 2014. And then the “white-greens” climbed to the 2nd place at most, or were satisfied with the cup. Only last year turned out to be a real breakthrough: an ambitious team won a "double". Now, by the way, a new draw is in full swing in the country - the Premium League started in the spring. So far, it is clear that the capital clubs will compete for the new title. Together with a neighbor, "Flora", they broke away from all competitors very seriously. But now we have to spend a lot of efforts on the fight in European competitions. In 2021, after knocking out St. Josephs, Levadia were kicked out of Dundalk (1-2, 2-2).

"Vikingur" delighted their fans in 2021 by winning their 6th league title. Exactly 30 years have passed since the previous triumph. Entire generations have grown up seeing mediocre performances at most. Only in recent years, under Gunnlaugsson, it was possible to improve. And the peak was last season, which brought the "golden double". Now, however, the results are clearly worse - Breidablik dominates the championship with virtually 100% performance. All the rest keep at a fairly serious distance, and it looks like they will fight for a maximum of 2nd place. Among them are the Vikings. But now they still need to distribute their forces to European competitions. There was only 1 start in the previous 5 years. In 2020, they lost to Ljubljana in the Europa League qualification. In the only match the Icelanders lost 1-2 in extra time.
Although Levadia relatively often starts in European competitions, it will play against Vikingur for the first time. However, in 2019 there was a head-to-head with Stjarnan. That representative was beaten at home but conceded on away goals advantage. Bookmakers give a slight advantage to Vikingur - they play at home. We recommend betting on the Icelanders, but with a handicap of "0".
Prediction for the match: Vikingur to win with 0.0 handicap.
