AIK and Gyor will trade tackles in the first leg of their UEFA Conference League third-round qualification tie on Thursday (August 7th). The game will be played at Strawberry Arena.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 6-0 thrashing of Paide in the second leg of their second-round qualification tie to get here. They went two goals up thanks to own goals from Nikita Baranov and Martin Miller, while Johan Hove made it 3-0 just before the break. Anton Saletros scored a second-half brace, with his goals coming on either side of Hove's 54th-minute strike. The win saw them advance with an 8-0 aggregate win.
Gyor, meanwhile, played out a 1-1 draw at home to Ujpest in the Hungarian NB 1. Their visitors were reduced to 10 men when Tom Lacouz was sent off in the 40th minute. A remarkable end to the game saw Giorgi Beridze put the visitors ahead in the 89th minute, while Oleksandr Pinchur equalized in injury time.
They will shift their focus to the continent and have booked their spot at this stage with a 4-3 aggregate win over Pyunik, overturning a 2-1 first leg away loss with a 3-1 win at home.
The winner of this tie will face Rapid Vienna or Dundee United in the next round, while the losers will be eliminated from the continent.
