Spartak Trnava will host Dnipro-1 in the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League playoff-round tie on Tuesday.
Spartak Trnava will host Dnipro-1 in the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League playoff-round tie on Tuesday at the Anton Malatinsky Stadium. Interestingly, this will be the first meeting between both clubs. Trnava is coming into the match on the back of a scintillating win against Podbrezova in the Nike Liga. Added to that, is the crushing blow that Trnava gave to Lech Poznan in the UEFA Conference League third-round qualification. Although in the first round, Lech Poznan had won the tie back home but back home things changed dramatically. Trnava hammered Poznan for three goals.
In contrast, things are not going well in the Ukrainian camp. Dnipro-1 will enter the match on the back of a defeat against Obolon Kyiv (1-2). The game was played in the home stadium of Dnipro. Added to that misery they crashed out of the UEFA Europa League qualification as well. After getting hammered by Slavia Praha back at their home it was very difficult for Dnipro to come back. However, the Ukrainian side suffered in their own backyard as well. Although Valentyn Ruchynskyi gave Dnipro lead at the halftime, it evaporated easily. A brace from Vaclev Jurecka saw Slavia Praha level the game and kill it. Now, with only the Conference League to play for, Dnipro will be under immense pressure. Naturally, both teams will be going at it with full force. There are no injury issues on both sides. Let us see who has the last laugh on Tuesday.
Trnava’s probable starting lineup: Takac, M.Sulek, Stetina, Gorosito, Breznik, M. Bukata, Bainovic, Stefanik, Oseni, M. Ristovski, Azango
Dnipro-1’s probable starting lineup: Kinareykin, Pasich, Svatok, Kravets, Kapliyenko, V. Rubchynkyi, Gorin, Bill, Pikhalyonok, Lednev, Kiwinda
