Motherwell head north with a 2-0 lead to protect and should be confident they can see off HB and move into the third qualifying round of the Conference League.
Goals from Martin Moormann and Lukas Fadinger have put Alfred Johansson's Steelmen in the driving seat, but HB do not lose many home European ties and may have a trick or two up their sleeves when the Scottish Premiership outfit visit.

HB v Motherwell Prediction
Best Bet: HB Torshavn or Draw - Double Chance @ 23/20
New Motherwell boss Johansson was delighted to kick off his competitive reign at Fir Park by beating HB 2-0 in the first leg of this Conference League second qualifying round tie - but the work is not done.
HB - or Havnar Boltfelag to give the Faroese side their full name - boast a proud home record in Europe in recent seasons with draws against HJK, Brondby and Hajduk Split and a win over Maccabi Tel Aviv all registered since 2019.
They gave a decent account of themselves in at Fir Park with seven shots registered to the Steelmen's 12 and will fancy they can overturn this, even if qualification odds suggest otherwise.
This is a new-look 'Well, who ended last season in mixed form and are being rebuilt under Johansson following Jens Berthold Askou's exit, so this looks like far from a done deal.
Alternative Bet: Race to 3 corners - HB Torshavn @ 6/5
There were only six corners in the first game, five to Motherwell, one to HB.
However, the Faroese side need to come out and play and if they get on the front foot they can win the race to three corners at a nice price of 6/5.
Motherwell averaged under four corners away from home in the Premiership last term and, while this is a new regime, the value does look to be the home side.
HB v Motherwell Bet Builder Tip
HB to win either half
Over 4 HB corners
Over 2 goals
Pays 11/1
There are usually goals scored at Gundadalur and that could well be the case for Motherwell's visit in the Conference League.
European games have traditionally yielded not many goals for HB, but now they have to go for it and we know they can.
They found the net in all 14 home league games last season, scoring two or more in 12 of those.
And, while Motherwell are going to be a step ahead of most of their opponents, Faroese football is on the up and they are a threat.
Make over two goals the first leg of the Bet Builder for this tie with HB to win either half.
Finally, over four HB corners. They aren't going to go down with a whimper and five corners does not seem like a tall order in a game that has to open up at some point.
