The Icelandic champions played a draw against the Serbian champions Spartak (1-1) in the first qualifying game in a group which is played in Cardiff. The Bulgarian champions NSA Sofia lost to the home team from Cardiff (0-4).

Things are pretty straightforward here. Breidablik are the top contenders for the top spot in the group since they played a draw against their main rivals from Serbia and since they're big favorites for the win in the other two rounds. It's clear that the winner here will be a team with the better overall goal difference. Breidablik need two convincing wins, especially against the Bulgiaran champions, the underdogs of this group.

Breidablik had total control in the Spartak game and finished 23 shots in total (8 on target). They scored to get ahead 69 minutes into the game and conceded one in injury time. They won the Icelandic Cup earlier this months (3-1 against IBV in the final). They play their games on artificial pitch, which is the surface here in Cardiff.

NSA, just like Cardiff, are the team that serve their opponents to improve their goal difference. They lost 4-0 in the first round without firing a single shot on target against Cardiff, who lost all three games in last season's qualifiers after conceding 15 goals. (Medyk, Poland 0-5, Wexford, Ireland 1-5, Gintra, Lithuania 1-5). Another comparison, the Bulgarians lost the qualifiers for CH in season 2012/13 to Spartak from Subotica 7-0. Iceland will try and score as many goals as possible here to get in as better position as possible before the last game in the group.
