Dnipro-1 will host Slavia Prague in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League third qualification round at the Dnipro Arena on Thursday. The Ukrainian side will look to keep its slim progression hopes alive. The Ukrainian side trail 3-0 in the tie following their heavy defeat in the first leg last week in the Czech capital. Added to that agonising defeat, Dnipro also dropped points for the first time this season in their domestic league. The Ukrainian side managed a 1-1 draw at Mynai against FC Minaj. Dnipro-1 has very slim chances, considering they need to win by a four-goal margin. The chances of Dnipro’s return are very slim and sleek. Nevertheless, things might get interesting in their own backyard.
Meanwhile, Slavia had a fantastic first-leg performance in their backyard. Ivan Schranz struck a first-half brace before Conrad Wallem added a third late on as Praha won comfortably. Their only sore note was a red card for Igoh Ogbu in the 59th minute. The defender is suspended for the second leg. Praha also extended their 100% win record in their domestic season with a 1-0 win over Mlada Boleslav in the league. Slavia is currently with four wins in as many games. Currently, the Slavists are level with Sparta Prague at 12 points apiece. The only difference between both sides is the goal difference. However, Slavia has been on a fine run of form and is sure to get favourable results in the European tie as well as the domestic league.
