Match Time & Date:

03:00 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Anderlecht
Spartak Trnava and Anderlecht take on each other at City Arena Trnava at the start of the new Europa League campaign. Spartak Trnava failed to book their place in the Champions League, but they will represent Slovakia in the Europa League this term. The Slovaks failed to impress in the two-legged tie against Crvena zvezda in the Champions League, but they proved their worth in the double-header against Olimpija in the Europa League play-off. The Belgian side, on the other hand, have big ambitions for the 2018/2019 Europa League campaign and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Thursday’s football match against Spartak Trnava. Anyhow, seeing that Arena Trnava will host this game, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in the opening match of their Europa League campaign on Thursday evening.
