After two consecutive losses in the conference league against Lille and Slovan Bratislava, Olimpija will try to get its first win on Thursday, when it faces the longest road trip in the group. The Zmaji will travel to the Faroe Islands, 3,000 kilometres away, where they will face a tough opponent Klaksvik.
The match at the Torsvollur Stadium in Torshavn, which seats 6,500 spectators, will kick off at 18.45, and if Olimpija were to be left empty-handed again, they would be in an almost losing position.
