Keflavik are in the unenviable position in this UEFA Europa League live football match against Valletta of being on the wrong end of a scoreline against a Maltese football club. Keflavik hail from Iceland and should naturally be expected to advance to the second qualifying round after being drawn against Valletta. However, they conspired to put up their worst possible performance in recent memory during the first game to be torn to shreds 3-0 by their opponents. There was little positives to draw from that game for Keflavik and it will be back to the drawing board for them. While they are unlikely to get back into the tie with three goals an insurmountable barrier for most teams, Keflavik could still chip away at that lead as there are still 90 minutes to go against Valletta.
Valletta are not about to celebrate just yet in this live UEFA Europa League football match against Keflavik as the game can change dramatically within a second as many know. Valletta though can draw strength, inspiration and pride from their play in the first game, where they made their opponents look more like novices and part timers than themselves. Valletta opened the scoring with Dyson Falzon in the 25th minute and everybody held their breath. The fans started to believe in miracles once Njongo Priso scored the second goal four minutes into the second half. The stadium erupted after Geert Den Ouden put the result beyond doubt with a third goal in the 72nd minute. That sparked scenes of wild celebrations as Malta can now have another representative in the second qualifying round.
Keflavik as mentioned will need to make an early impact in this UEFA Europa League live streaming football match against Valletta which will trigger some self doubt in their opponents. But the screws must be turned tightly from there by Keflavik if they hope to turn things around, with more urgency shown on the pitch. Valletta on the other hand have to try to take control of the ball as often and as quickly as possible, not surrendering possession cheaply and dictacting the pace of the game. Otherwise it could all turn ugly very quickly.
