Spartak Trnava and Dnipro-1 will face off in the 1st leg of the UEFA Conference League Play-offs.
The upcoming match between Dnipro-1 and Spartak Trnava seems to promise an exciting contest, where both teams have the potential to find the back of the net. The matchup appears evenly matched, making it difficult to predict a clear favorite.
Spartak Trnava is looking to maintain their positive momentum following a recent 3-1 victory against Lech Poznań during the Conference League Qualifiers.
However, the team has been grappling with defensive challenges in recent matches. They have been unable to keep opponents from scoring in their past 6 encounters, resulting in a total of 8 goals conceded during this period.
As Spartak Trnava prepares for upcoming fixtures, manager Michal Gašparík faces minimal selection issues. The majority of the squad is fit and available, except for Dobrivoj Rusov, who is currently dealing with a fitness concern. Despite this setback, Gašparík still has a strong group of players at his disposal for the upcoming games.
