Dnipro-1 host Spartak Trnava at the Kosicka Futbalova Arena on Thursday for the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League playoff clash.
The tie is currently poised at 1-1 after the sides played out a draw in the first leg. Kelvin Ofori broke the deadlock for Spartak Trnava in the 55th minute, before Oleksandr Pikhalyonok equalized for Dnipro-1 just 12 minutes later.
Making only their second excursion in Europe, Dnipro-1 are aiming to reach the Conference League group stages for the second year in a row.
On the other hand, Spartak Trnava are looking for their first European qualification since the 2018-19 season, when the Slovakian team reached the Europa League group stages.
Michal Gašparík's side, though, need to find their best form, having also drawn in the league just days after their Dnipro-1 stalemate.
Spartak were held to a 0-0 draw with Skalica in the Slovak Super Liga on last weekend for their second stalemate in four games.
With just five points in the bag from four league games, the White Angels are down in seventh position in their league table.
