Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Mestsky stadion Miroslava Valenty will host Thursday’s Conference League qualifier between Slovacko and AIK, the two teams who meet for the first time in European competitions. Fenerbahce proved to be a big catch for Slovacko in the Europa League qualifiers, but they are surely capable of matching AIK in front of home fans. Defender Stanislav Hofmann is back from suspension, while midfielder Marek Havlik remains in the recovery room.
The Swedish outfit, on the other hand, booked their place in the playoffs by beating Shkendija on penalties, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Slovacko. Since the Czechs are tough to beat at home, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of winning the first leg. Per Karlsson remains on the sidelines with injury, while defender Erick Otieno is banned for the match due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
