Young Boys and Slovan Bratislava, the bottom sides in the Champions League last season, will meet in the Europa League playoff round. Bratislava plays host in the first leg as the two fight for a place in the league phase. Below is our prediction of the match.
Bratislava last played in the Europa League group stage in 2019/20. They are two matches away from a return to that level. In two of their last three attempts, the Slovaks failed at the playoff level.
To get here, they dropped from the Champions League, dumped out by Kairat Almaty. Though coming from a win domestically, the hosts will need more motivation for a first-ever win against Young Boys.
This match marks the fifth meeting between these two, and Young Boys have the edge with three wins in four. The last time they faced off was in 2021, as Young Boys claimed a 3-2 win in the Champions League.
Now the Swiss side looks to keep that run going, as they hope to do better than their bottom-place finish in the league phase of the Champions League last season.
Alongside Slovan Bratislava, they were the only sides to wrap it up without a point from eight games. Young Boys are coming into this game off the back of two wins in their last five matches.
