Prediction: 0-2
Dinamo Zagreb
Slovan Bratislava will look to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Girona when they take on Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League round 4. Slovan do not seem to be competitive at this level, losing each of their first three games of the process and given their shaky defence, home win should not be considered. Important midfielder Marko Tolic returns to the starting XI after he was rested in a 3-1 win over Podbrezova, while Swiss forward Adler remains in the recovery room. Defender Jurij Medvedev is a major doubt (illness).
The Croatian champions, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 2-0 win over Salzburg and given Slovan Bratislava’s slow start to the new Champions League campaign, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the away team. In their last meeting at Tehelne pole Dinamo Zagreb outplayed Slovan Bratislava 3-0. To make things even better, Dinamo boss Nenad Bjelica should have a full squad to choose from.
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.
