Vikingur Reykjavik took a respected 3-1 victory at home to Cercle Brugge, which was important for them after losing 4-0 in Cyprus the previous round. In Iceland, they are always tough to play, and now comes Borac Banja Luka to visit
Borac Banja Luka are no push overs. They are arriving to Iceland with a 7-1-0 run and high confidence. They recently beat APOEL away, and have a 1-1 draw to Panathinaikos in their bag. They are 2nd in the league after 10 matches, so the league is fresh and form is good.
The weather conditions food this game are particular, with -1 C and some shorter wind throws of 54km/h according to reports which are pretty strong. The pitch is artificial here, which Icelandic teams usually thrive on. Bookies are giving the home advantage to Vikingur, despite the good form of Borac Banja Luka, which shows that they are respecting the conditions that exists.
Conclusion: Form wise, Borac could not wish for a better preparation. Playing in Iceland is usually not about the team quality, but more about the mental challenges that it throws at you. Playing on a hard surface, with below freezing temperatures and strong winds is not particularly motivating if you are a visitor. I think this is the reason why Vikingur could beat a Belgian side last round. Borac might be the slightly better team on paper, but I think the attitude of the Icelandic team will prevail and therefore my bet is that they handle this match with more enthusiasm than the visitors. I play the hosts.
