Slovacko take on the visitors Fenerbahce in the second leg of UEFA Europa League qualification semifinals. First leg result: 0-3. The match will be played on Thursday, August 11th at Mestsky stadion Miroslava Valenty (Uherske Hradiste).
Slovacko could not become a serious force of the European level. The White-Blues was founded in 2000, though not from scratch: such teams as Sinot and Slovak Slavia agreed to merge. Gradually it turned out to improve, and the last years brought some results. In 2021, the team finished in 4th place, and even made its debut in the Conference League. There, however, with Lokomotiv (Plodviv) they exchanged victories 0-1, losing to the Bulgarians on penalties. Despite this misfire, Slovacko was able to defend his position in the championship, also taking the first cup in history. This has already sent to the Europa League; another thing is that from there the Czechs again immediately got eliminated.

Fenerbahce finally showed something with Jorge Jesus. "Canaries" just rave about new successes won by trophies. Which is not surprising, because the Istanbul grand has not achieved anything significant in almost a decade: not a single title since 2014! As a result, a new mentor appeared in the summer, Jorge Jesus. And under him, an already strong squad that took 2nd place in the Super Lig was strengthened by a number of status newcomers, from King and Willian Arao to Joao Pedro Galvao. But all this, perhaps, even prevented Dynamo Kiev from being knocked out. With all the advantage, the Turks did not win against Lucescu's wards in Lodz, and then lost in extra time at home to the "white-blue". But there were no problems with a less seasoned opponent, Slovacko. Lincoln shined in that match and made the difference. The Brazilian, who came from Santa Clara, first assisted Mora, and then scored a double. The intrigue is actually dead, there is only a chance for the Czechs to "slam the door" at home.
Slovacko only for the second time start in full-fledged European competitions. Of course, this is their first confrontation with Fenerbahce. By and large, the game becomes a formality after 3-0 in Istanbul. But the Turks are stronger even without motivation - we bet that they will win the return match.
Prediction for the match: Fenerbahce to win.
