"Starting with the hosts, making real history last season as they stormed their way to a record-breaking seventh consecutive domestic crown, Slovan Bratislava have only continued on from where they left off to the summer break. Last seen extended in their stellar start to proceedings as they secured a 2-1 victory away at Trencin, Vladimir Weiss' men have once again skyrocketed their way to the top of the First League standings."
"Watching their respective Europa League qualifying adventure come to screeching end on August 28th as they fell to a 4-2 aggregate defeat against Young Boys, Slovan Bratislava have failed to muster a single clean sheet in their previous eight appearances across all competitions. Likewise, Thursday's hosts have also conceded at least a pair of strikes in five of their last six outings."
Strasbourg travel to Slovakia to face Slovan Bratislava for their Europa Conference League opener. Slovan Bratislava secured a record-breaking seventh consecutive domestic title and opened the season strongly, including a 2-1 win at Trencin that put them atop the First League. Defensive fragility persists, with no clean sheets in eight matches and at least two goals conceded in five of their last six outings despite a 4-2 Slovak Cup win over Nadszeg. Strasbourg have won consecutive Ligue 1 matches but lost 2-1 at home to Marseille and seek an immediate response under Liam Rosenior. Some regard Strasbourg as a potential title dark horse.
