Arda is visiting HIK in the second leg of the second qualifying round of the Conference League, sportal.bg reported
The match at "Bolt Arena" in Helsinki is at 19:00 and will be refereed by Ivan Griffith.
The first clash a week ago ended in a goalless draw, but the Kardzhali team certainly has something to regret, as they were the better team and could have achieved victory.
Alexander Tunchev's team continues to search for their first "European goal". This will be Arda's fourth appearance in the European tournaments, with the Bulgarians failing to score a goal in the previous three matches.
Over the weekend, the "sky blues" drew with Lokomotiv Sofia (1:1) and remain without a win since the start of the season.
HIK warmed up for today's rematch with a 4:2 away win over Gnistan three days ago. The Finns are performing quite convincingly at home, as evidenced by their match with NSI Runavik from the first qualifying round of the tournament, which they won 5:0. Thanks to him, they turned the aggregate score around after previously trailing 0:4.
Tunchev will not be able to rely on the permanently injured Plamen Krachunov, and Emil Viachki, Felix Eboa and Andre Shinyashiki remain questionable.
In the next stage of the competition, the winner of this pair will face one of Kauno Zalgiris (Lithuania) and Valur (Iceland).
