Slovan Bratislava vs Aris Limassol Prediction, Betting Tips & Preview

Slovan Bratislava vs Aris Limassol
UEFA Europa League Qualification
Date: 24 August 2023, Thursday
Kick-off at 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
Venue: Stadion Tehelne pole (Bratislava).

Aris Limassol notched eleven goals past BATE Borisov in two legs of the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round but they fired blanks in a double-header against Polish champions Rakow Czestochowa in the next round.

Two separate slender defeats to Rakow (one goal scored in the process) have sent the first-time Cypriot champions to the UEFA Europa League playoffs.

They will face a tough challenge there in the clashes against Slovakian champions Slovan Bratislava. The first match is on schedule on Thursday evening at Stadion Tehelne pole.

Slovan were also stopped in the third round of the Champions League qualifications.

They allowed five goals in two separate defeats to Maccabi Haifa. The defensive displays his men have shown against Israeli champions are certainly worrying for head coach Vladimir Weiss.

Slovan Bratislava shipped at least two goals in all but one of the last five games across competitions, including even the home clash against Bosnian champions Zrinjski Mostar in the Champions League second qualifying round reverse leg in Bratislava.

The Over 2.5 goals FT & Both Teams To Score pick landed in each of Slovan’s last five outings in all competitions, involving their maiden domestic league win in the third round away at Skalica (1-2 twelve days ago).

While Slovan were not in action at the weekend, Aris Limassol played their first round game of the new season in Cypriot elite class on Monday against AEK Larnaca.
