Boruc, Jedrzejczyk, Johansson, Holownia, Skibicki, Slisz, Martins, Kongsro, Muci, Liquinhas and Emreli
Prediction: Slavia Prague 2-1 Legia Warszawa
Slavia has been in good form in recent weeks and should capitalize on the same when they face the Polish side.
The loser of this tie will drop down to the Europa Conference League and with their indifferent form, we see Legia not being able to survive this one.
The likes of Holes, Sevcik and Schranz will aim to continue their good form and put the Polish side under pressure.
Players to watch out for: Holes, Sevcik, Emreli and Muci.
