FK Zorya will host Slavia Praha in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League playoff-round tie on Thursday at the Arena Lublin. Zorya failed to find their feet after losing 2-0 in the Fortuna Arena last week. Subsequently, Zorya has drawn 1-1 with FC Minaj on Sunday in the Ukrainian Premier League. Nenad Lalatovic’s men have failed to win five of their six games across competitions this season. The only exception is a 2-1 win at Vorskla. The difference in quality and depth between the two sides was pretty evident in the first leg.
On the other hand, Slavia have delivered a more resilient performance after their continental win. They came from behind to salvage a 1-1 draw against Jablonec at the Stadion Střelnice. Jindrich Trpisovsky’s side has gone unbeaten in six games across competitions this season. Slavia’s impressive start to the season has been owing to their solid job at the defensive end of the pitch. The likes of Masopust, Vleck and Holes have allowed Slavia to keep four clean sheets in six games. Slavia will back themselves to pick up where they dropped off in the Czech Republic. However, Zorya will have the home advantage in their favour.
FK Zorya’s probable starting lineup: Turbayevskyi, Kyryukhantsev, Jordan, Batagov, Snurnitsyn, Dryshlyuk, Yatsyk, Myshnyov, Antyukh, Guerrero, Vantukh
Slavia Praha’s probable starting lineup: Kolar, Masopust, Vleck, Holes, Doudera, Zafeiris, Sevcik, Provod, Jurasek, Chytil, Schranz
