Slavia Prague take on the visitors Zorya Lugansk in the first leg of UEFA Europa League qualification finals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 24th at Fortuna Arena (Prague).
Decide for yourselves whether representatives of the Czech capital are lucky with the draw or not. But somehow, in a remarkable twist of fate, the team ends up facing the second representatives of Ukraine as their opponents. Let's remember how they played against Dnipro: confidently, precisely, and without chances for the opponent. That was on their home ground. After that, the team entered the second match with a lot of self-assurance and managed to achieve the desired result with their own efforts. And now, let's consider the matches in the championship, where they've achieved five victories in five encounters! Iron defense: Slavia hasn't conceded in the championship for over three hundred minutes! In such circumstances, I can't imagine the Prague team not being able to play confidently at home.

Due to a silly technical loss in the last round of the Ukrainian championship, Zorya didn't end up in Dnipro's position. And in friendly matches, all the problems of the representatives from Luhansk became apparent. What's going on in the championship at all? Only one victory in four encounters, and their opponents weren't even the main favorites for the championship in Ukraine. They beat Vorskla solely due to a goal scored in the very end. Furthermore, Lalatovich's team demonstrated that they are really struggling to hit the target. In the home match against Oleksandriia, they had seven shots towards the opponent's goal. They didn't hit the target once. Just a complete disaster!
The team from the Czech Republic looks like the main contender for the championship this season in the country. And the team's performance truly demonstrates that with confidence. The team's excellent performance in the local championship left no doubt about their capabilities in this tournament's very first encounter. Moreover, Dnipro-1 are definitely not weaker than today's Czech opponents this season. However, Zorya have had a very poor start to the championship. What's going on there? They can barely scrape out close endings, that's it. Otherwise, everything is very gloomy: weak defense and an utterly dreadful shot accuracy from their total attempts. The match in the Czech Republic is likely to turn into a complete nightmare...
Prediction for the match: Slavia Prague to win with -1.5 handicap.
