Omonia completed their final training session in Belgium ahead of the Sint-Truiden clash, facing torrential rain and the challenges of an artificial turf.
Omonia has concluded its preparations on Belgian soil ahead of tomorrow's (20/08, 21:00) crucial encounter against Sint-Truiden. The "Greens" face the Belgian side in the first leg of the Europa League Play-offs, aiming for a result that will provide a qualification advantage.
Training under torrential rain
Henning Berg’s squad conducted their final training session at the "Daio Wasabi Stayen Stadium," the venue for tomorrow's match.
Stadium specifics and conditions
In addition to the weather, Omonia had to adapt to the specific requirements of the playing surface. The "Daio Wasabi Stayen Stadium" features an artificial turf, which alters ball speed and player movement compared to natural grass. This final session was pivotal for the team to familiarize themselves with these distinct parameters.
Berg's tactical focus
The Norwegian manager and his players focused on their tactical approach, acknowledging the high competitive level of the Belgian league. Following the completion of the training program, Omonia enters the final stretch before the first European Play-off battle, hoping to appear fully prepared despite the adverse weather conditions encountered in Belgium.
