It's game one of two in the Europa Conference League as Spartak Trnava host Dnipro-1. This is a Play-offs fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
These teams have little in common geographically as Dnipro-1 have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It's no vacation for neither Spartak nor Dnipro-1 as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
