Viking awaits in Stavanger eight days later
The return leg will be played on Wednesday, August 26, in Stavanger, Norway, also with a 9 PM kick-off. The winner of the tie will secure a spot in the league phase of the Champions League, while the loser will continue their European journey in the Europa League league phase.
Viking are the current Norwegian champions, having won the title last year for the first time since 1991. The club from Stavanger reached the top of Norwegian football after an impressive rise, considering they were playing in the second division as recently as 2018.
