--------------------------------
Slovan Bratislava will host Young Boys in the first leg of their Europa League qualifier. After losing on penalties in Champions League qualifying, Slovan now aim to advance in the Europa League, while Young Boys are making their European debut this season.
Team Analysis:
Slovan Bratislava narrowly lost on penalties to Kairat Almaty despite a second-leg win. They have struggled to score recently but have a strong home record this season, winning all four matches. The team has consistently reached European qualifiers, often playing in the Conference League group stage.
Young Boys finished third in Switzerland’s playoffs and have had a mixed start to the season, with poor away form and a history of wins against Slovan. However, they have shown inconsistency in defense and attack this campaign.
Player Situation:
Slovan’s attack will likely feature Robert Mak, Tigran Barseghyan, and David Strelec, with midfielders Kenan Bajric and Marko Tolic expected to retain their spots. Injured left-back Sandro Cruz’s absence may see Peter Pokorny step in.
Young Boys face key injuries to forwards Christian Fassnacht and Facinet Conte, likely promoting Ebrima Colley and Chris Bedia to start, while midfielders Edimilson Fernandes and Rayan Raveloson may support defenders Gregory Wuthrich and Loris Benito.
Result Prediction:
Young Boys have struggled this season, especially away, while Slovan Bratislava’s strong home form makes them likely favorites to lead after the first leg.
Predicted Result: Slovan Bratislava 2-1 Young Boys.
