100% Scandinavian confrontation on Thursday evening from 17:00, in the first leg of the Europa League play-off, for group qualification, where HJK from Finland and Silkeborg from Denmark will face each other. Tonight’s match is a first for both teams, and this is because the team from Denmark does not have many participations in European cups.

Silkeborg:
On the other hand, Silkeborg returns to European cups after a 21-year break, the last participation being in the 2001-2002 season, when the current Europa League competition was called the Uefa Cup. In that season, Silkeborg was eliminated from the first round by the Spanish team Zaragoza who won both matches 3-0 in the home round and 2-1 in the return leg in Denmark. Thanks to the 3rd place achieved in the championship last season, Silkeborg qualified directly for the Europa League play-off.
