Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Slovan Bratislava and Midtjylland face each other at Tehelne pole in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Wednesday’s program. Slovan Bratislava did well to hold Midtjylland to a 1-1 draw in Denmark, but they are still seen as the underdogs in this Champions League two-legged qualifier. Vladimir Weiss rested several first-team regulars in a 2-0 win over Banska Bystrica, but the 59-year-old tactician is going to field the best possible side against Midtjylland.
The visitors, on the other hand, came from behind to beat Sonderjyske 3-2 in their last league match, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Slovakia. As Slovan Bratislava are tough to beat at home, we believe that punters worldwide can find value in betting on draw. The likes of Paulinho, Sorensen, Marrony, Cho Gue-Sung, and Victor Bak should miss out with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Slovan Bratislava):
Over the years Slovan Bratislava have established themselves as the most successful Slovakian club. The Belasi clinched their 13th domestic trophy in the 2018/2019 season, finishing the campaign 14 points clear of second-placed Zilina. Slovan Bratislava welcome their rivals at Tehelne pole, the stadium with the capacity of 22,500.
The Tehelne pole club wear white shirts and white shorts when playing at home, while blue is the dominant colour of their away kit. Spartak Trnava are regarded as the club’s fiercest rivals, but they hold the rivalry with DAC Dunajska Streda as well. There have always been fireworks in matches between Slovan and Inter Bratislava, especially when both teams were part of the Czechoslovak First League.
In the 1968/69 season Slovan Bratislava won the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, with the team beating star-studded La Liga side Barcelona in the title game. It has to be noted that the likes of Cvetler, Hrivnak and Jan Capkovic scored for the Slovaks in the final of the European competition.
