The tournament will conclude on Friday with four games taking place in total across different venues and at different times. The Bees, who have three points, still have an outside chance of coming top of the table, though the likes of Breiðablik will fancy their chances having claimed five points from their first two matches. There are four other teams who also have three points. FC Copenhagen play FC Zenit today in their second fixture so one of those sides could be on six points after two matches having both been victorious in their opening matches.

The young Bees will go into the match with the Swedish side following an impressive victory over Brøndby IF on Tuesday afternoon. Nathan Young-Coombes grabbed the game’s only goal in the seventh minute with a clinical finish at the Estádio Algarve.
