Noah will play host to Vikingur FC at Republican Stadium in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday. The hosts need one more win to escape elimination while the visitors are chasing a round-of-16 spot.
Noah vs Vikingur FC Preview
Noah hope to have overcome their nightmare from the previous matchday to focus on this game. They were sent to the cleaners 8-0 by Chelsea in London, which was the worst defeat of matchday three in the league phase. The hosts sit in the 28th spot on three points out of 36 teams but could advance to the knockout phase playoffs if they win.
The Armenian side returned to the competition this term after missing out in the previous two editions. This has been their best campaign so far in the UEFA Conference League, having progressed beyond the first qualifying round for the first time. Noah will head into this meeting on the back of three straight wins.
Vikingur FC boast two wins and sit in the 14th spot, with the possibility of advancing to the knockout phase play-offs. However, they are eying a direct qualification for the round of 16, reserved only for the top eight teams. One more win could hand the visitors a ticket to that zone but a defeat would keep them further away.
Vikes are appearing for the third consecutive time in the UEFA Conference League since 2022-23. However, this is the first time they are competing in the league phase, with their previous best record being a third qualifying round spot. Vikingur finished second in Iceland’s top flight, Besta deild karla, to book their place in the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League.
