FC "Metalist 1925" will play their second match at the "3Arena" in Stockholm. In the second qualifying round of the Champions League, our team will compete against the Dutch team "PSV" for a spot in the newly created Europa Cup.

In the semi-final of the mini-tournament, the "red and white" team couldn't resist the powerful "Manchester United" - 0:4, while "Metalist 1925" narrowly lost to "Hammarby" in a high-scoring game - 4:5.

Before the European Cup matches, today's opponent has only played one official game in the new season - they were defeated by "Twente" in the Dutch Super Cup (3:2). These same teams fought for the Eredivisie title in the previous season. They finished with the same number of points, but "tukkers" claimed the championship due to a better goal difference. The new championship starts on September 6, and "PSV" will begin with a home match against "Excelsior".
