Slovan Bratislava return to European action when they take on Swedish visitors Hacken on Thursday evening.
Hacken arrives in Slovakia looking for a first win since October while Slovan returns to action after breaking a three-game losing run in the Niké Liga last weekend.
Now set to face-off for the first-time on Thursday, both teams will be desperate to claim a much-needed Conference League win this week.
Slovan Bratislava team overview
Slovan Bratislava turn their attention to Conference League affairs after a much-needed 3:2 win against Zilina in the Niké Liga last weekend. Marko Tolić´s brace secured a first win in four for Vladimir Weiss´s side.
Before last weekend´s deserved victory, Slovan had suffered three consecutive defeats, including a 2:0 reversal against KF Shkëndija in their most recent Conference League contest.
Five games into their continental campaign, Slovan sit 31st in the competition, although they did claim a 2:1 win against Rayo Vallecano last month. Each of the Slovak´s last five home games finished with both teams on the scoresheet.
Head coach Weiss is likely to keep faith with the same side that edged past Zilina last weekend. The home side have no reported injury issues.

Hacken team overview
Hacken return to European action after a hard-fought 1:1 draw against AEK Larnaca in last week's Conference League contest in Sweden. Johan Hammar's stoppage-time goal rescued a point for the Getingarna.
Jens Gustafsson's side have struggled to find much form in recent weeks. With their domestic season already complete, the Swedes have failed to win any of their last seven games, including each of five Conference League fixtures. Hacken find themselves 29th in the division having picked up three draws and two defeats.
Goals can usually be expected when the Getingarna are involved. All but one of their last nine games finished with both teams on the scoresheet, including each of their last four Conference League fixtures.
Head coach Gustafsson has no new injury issues ahead of the trip to Slovakia. Teenage forward Isak Brusberg is expected to lead the Hacken attack on Thursday.

Prediction
Goals should be expected in a competitive Conference League contest. BTTS is my best bet, while I also expect three or more goals scored in Bratislava.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS
- Slovan Bratislava have seen BTTS in their last 5 home matches
- Slovan Bratislava have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 6 matches
- Hacken have seen BTTS in 8 of their last 9 matches
