Preview: Hammarby v Cork City

Cork City know they have to at least score on their trip to Sweden to stay alive in this season's Intertoto Cup. Having finished 1-1 in the first leg at Turner's Cross, Hammarby go into the game with the advantage of knowing a scoreless draw would send them into the third and final round. Dutch side Utrecht await in the final qualifying round before UEFA Cup qualification is earned.

Hammarby vs Cork City
(Rasunda - 3:00 pm - Intertoto Cup 2nd Round - 2nd Leg)
(1st Leg: 1-1)
Referee : Radek Matejek (Czech Republic)

Cork City shouldn't be daunted by a trip to Stockholm's Rasunda Stadium. Last time they visited, a 1-1 draw with Djurgarden saw Damien Richardson's side advance in the UEFA Cup. In 2004, Cork won in Sweden's Malmo to confirm an Intertoto Cup advance to face Dutch opposition.

So would I. I hope Cork do them today.

Swedes still think that their league is far better than our Irish league eventhough we've been beating them consistently for the last few seasons.

It was 0:0 at 20 mins in. Playing 451 with Flynn up front on his own. Its 24 degrees up there.

Half time, 8,000 attendance, still nil all, Swedes has a few chances. Dan Murray and Roy O'Donovan has picked up yellows. Joe Gamble playing very well, Liam Kearney has lots of possession on the wing.

City have to score to go through.
