Venue: Baumit Arena (3000 seats)

There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the Champions League 1st Qualifying Round meeting between Dinamo Batumi and Slovan Bratislava. Game on!

7-4-1 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Slovan Bratislava when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those twelve matches are 28-18 (scored/conceded).

Slovan Bratislava have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Dinamo Batumi and Slovan Bratislava should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Bratislava's mission in Champions League last season failed in the 2nd qualifying round against Young Boys.

Slovan Bratislava delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Dinamo Batumi in their previous game; a Champions League fixture.
