Ull/Kisa vs Junkeren - 2. Division - Group 2

There is a notable edge to this 2. Division - Group 2 fixture. When Ull/Kisa meet Junkeren at the home ground on September 20, 2026, both will sense an opportunity to land a telling blow. The left-back was taken off in the final minutes against Everton with cramp, and was not risked for the Champions League clash vs Sabah on Thursday.

There is little to choose between Ull/Kisa and Junkeren on paper, and the 2. Division - Group 2 encounter should reflect that balance. The hosts have found wins hard to come by, L across their last five telling the story of a win rate of 15.79%. Junkeren have struggled to string results together away from home, WDDLW over their last five with a win rate of 36.84%. Where Ull/Kisa have leaned on defensive discipline, Junkeren have often taken the initiative going forward, and that stylistic difference should shape the contest. The on-loan Southampton striker had scored on his debut for Auxerre in defeat last weekend but followed it up with the winning goal against Nice to earn his old boss Will Still his first points in the job.

How the two sides approach the contest strategically will be key. Ull/Kisa will want to control proceedings in front of their own supporters, while Junkeren will back themselves to cause problems on the break. They were slightly found out against Amorim's Milan in pre-season, with the press not quite sharp enough - the fourth goal, in particular, came from just one ball over a high-lined defence.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal. The wide areas will be a key battleground, with full-backs and wingers on either side capable of swinging the contest one way or the other. The 37-year-old former Arsenal and Barcelona forward has netted in each of his first four appearances for the Galician club.

With the sides closely matched, the outcome may well hinge on which team takes its chances on the day. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 1-1 draw feels like a fitting result. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. The team currently most likely to win the 2026 WNBA Finals according to Opta.
