Slovan Bratislava Form

Slovan Bratislava deservedly lost the first leg where they had 1.00-2.37 expected goals, 48% possession and 7-23 shots with Gerson Rodrigues being their only scorer.

Their reaction was positive and swift, beating Zlate Moravce 4-1 last weekend in the Slovakian Super League. Rodrigues was the man of the match scoring a brace, while Juraj Kucka and Nino Marcelli also found the net.

They are sitting lonely at the top of the Super Lig table with 51 points from 20 matches, which is 12 points ahead of 2nd-placed Zilina.

Slovan Bratislava were second in the Conference League Group A after winning ten points in six games, ending behind Lille, ahead of KI Klaksvik and Olimpija. Interestingly, they collected more points on the road (6) than at home (4).

Sturm Graz Form

Sturm Graz have a massive 4-1 advantage from the first leg with Mika Bieveth, Gorenc Stankovic, Otar Kiteishvili and Amady Camara appearing on the scoresheet.

They failed to connect to that win though and earned just one point last weekend in the Austrian Bundesliga against Rapid Vienna 1-1. Sturm Graz had 1.35-2.05 expected goals, 51% possession and 10-17 shots in that match.

The Blackies are currently second in the Bundesliga, having gathered 39 points through 19 matches, which is just two points behind the leaders Salzburg.

As for their European journey, Sturm Graz had a rough time in the Europa League Group D where they won just four points against Atalanta, Sporting Lisbon and Rakow. Inefficiency was a major issue, finding the net just four times in six duels.

Verdict

Slovan Bratislava v SK Sturm Graz

Slovan Bratislava won half of their games in the group stages while being dominant in Slovakia. Sturm Graz can afford to lose this match with one or two goal difference, so a home win is tipped.
