MATCH PREVIEW:
Lincoln Red Imps lost their UCL Qualification match 4-1 on aggregate against CFR Cluj and hence had to settle for a UEL Qualification match as they look to prove themselves in European Football.
The Gibraltar will need to bounce back from the 2-0 defeat in the second leg if they want to keep their hopes alive of continuing in the continental football scheme of things.
On the other hand, the Slovakian side Slovan were knocked out of UCL Qualification by Young Boys 3-2 on aggregate in which all the goals were scored in the 2nd leg in what was a pulsating contest.
Slovan returned to winning ways in their domestic league when they won 2-0 against Trencin on Saturday.
Second half goals from Weiss and Zmrhal secured the win and send them to the top of the table after 2 games, from where they look to kick on.
Neither of the sides have each other in a competitive match. As a result, this could well be a thrilling contest with plenty to look forward to.

Slovan Bratislava
Chovan, De Marco, Bozhikov, Kashia, Pauschek, Lichy, de Kamps, Ibrahim, Ratao, Strelec and Henty
Prediction: Lincoln Red Imps 1-2 Slovan
The Slovakia champions are expected to edge this one due to the good form they possess ahead of this clash.
Lincoln have not been in the best of form after their loss to Cluj and could be short on confidence.
With a quality squad and in rhythm of winning, Slovan should pick up the win in the 1st leg.
