This match has been long awaited by fans of both sides, as it's the first First League game of the season. Both Sileks and Borec are looking for a positive start to their campaigns.

It's no vacation for neither Sileks nor Borec 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.
