FC Slovacko earned a spot in the Europa League qualifier courtesy of finishing fourth in the Czech First League standings last term. Martin Svedik’s side began their new domestic league campaign with a 2-2 draw at Brno, before getting the better of Hradec Kralove courtesy of Vlastimil Danicek’s lone goal in the 57th minute. Slovacko have lost just one of their last nine European encounters at home and were among the top defensive units in the last edition of Czech First league season, conceding the third-fewest goals (30) during the regular season. However, in order to overturn a three goal deficit, the Slovacko attackers will need to be at their best on Thursday.

Fenerbahce, on the other hand, finished second in the Turkish top division table to earn a spot in the second round of Champions League qualifier, but lost the tie against Dynamo Kyiv. Jorge Jesus’ side began their new Super Lig season with a thrilling encounter that saw both sides finding the back of the net three times each to share the spoils. Enner Valencia netted a brace before Mergim Berisha scored a last-ditch equaliser to earn a point for the Yellow Canaries against Umraniye. Last season, Fener were the highest scoring team in Turkey with 73 goals.
