Slavia Praha host the first leg in this deciding Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round game. Dnipro-1 will try their very best to bring a solid result back to Dnipro Arena before the return leg in 11 days.

It's quite the trip for Dnipro-1 when visiting Slavia Praha as the cities are 1800 kilometers apart.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Slavia Praha and Dnipro-1.

Slavia Praha form and stats

Perfect Czech Liga season at home so far for Slavia Praha 2 wins from 2 appearances.

Slavia's last game was hosting Zlin and winning 2-1.

In the preceding match a 3-1 victory visiting Ceske Budejovice.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Slavia Praha as they are travelling to their away game against Mlada Boleslav in the Czech Liga. That match is three days after this one.

At Fortuna Arena, Slavia Praha has the goal stats of 4-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Dnipro-1 form and stats

They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the play-offs, when AEK Larnaca drew the shortest straw.

Pikhalyonok and Babenko scored in Dnipro-1's previous match, the home game against Polessya that ended 2-1. The end of the last match, against Polessya, was very satisfying as Babenko scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Before that game, 2-2 away against Panathinaikos in the Champions League.

The schedule is very tough for Dnipro-1 now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Minai is waiting in only three days.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
