Zorya Luhansk take on the visitors Slavia Prague in the second leg of UEFA Europa League qualification finals. First time result: 0-2. The match will be played on Thursday, August 31st at Arena Lublin (Lublin).
Zorya hasn't been particularly impressive so far. The Lads have been unable to play in their native Luhansk for almost 10 years. However, the club has often achieved high positions under various managers. This was the case in the previous season when not only did they finish in 3rd place, but they also narrowly missed out on the vice-championship to Dnipro-1 only on additional indicators. They even outperformed Kyiv's Dynamo! But that was under Van den Brom, who moved to Shakhtar. His replacement, Lalatovich, is on the brink of resignation, which is understandable given the situation: only 1 victory over a weak-starting Vorskla and 5 points in 5 rounds of the UPL. Moreover, the intrigue in the Europa League, to be frank, seems rather formal.

Slavia (Prague) already have a Ukrainian scalp in this qualification. The Patchwork team, despite their significant Czech standards, managed to not reclaim the championship title in the national championship. This time, the favorite was surpassed by their neighbor and arch-enemy, Sparta. But in the new season, Trpisovsky's proteges look quite solid. They only dropped points once in the first 6 rounds of the championship, playing 1-1 against Jablonec in the last match. In parallel, the Czechs are performing in the Europa League, where they became something of a bane for their neighbors. In the first match, they settled everything with Dnipro-1, defeating them 3-0, followed by a 1-1 draw in the return leg. It was tougher against Zorya; they held on for over 80 minutes. Nevertheless, the result was a confident 2-0 victory thanks to goals from Tijani and Masopust.
The teams played against each other for the first time on August 24. Slavia will still be the clear favorite. However, they are capable of being pragmatic, so we'll go with total under 3.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
