Hesperange Team News
Before the previous match against Slovan, the Luxembourgish team Hesperange played their last game on May 21st in the final round of the National Division against Niedercorn away, and the result was 2-2. They took the lead in the 15th minute with a goal from Dominik Stolz, but three minutes later, the home team equalized. In the 58th minute, the away team regained the lead with a goal from now-former player Rayan Philippe. Towards the end of the match, the home team scored a penalty for the final result.
They finished the league part of the competition in the first place with 77 points, seven more than the second-placed Niedercorn. In the last five league matches, they recorded two wins and three draws. They scored at least one goal in each of those matches.
Hesperange will have to manage without their central midfield duo, Mohamed Morabet and Clement Couturier, as both are injured and will not be available.
Dominik Stolz led the attack well for the hosts; however, the departure of Rayan Philippe has left a noticeable gap, and the home team’s coach may be inclined to give a starting opportunity to Lado Akhalaia, who recently arrived on loan from Torino.

Slovan Bratislava Team News
Before the match against their next opponent, Hesperange, Slovan Bratislava played four friendly matches. The last one was against Rapid Bucharest, and they won with a score of 4-1. They took the lead in the eighth minute through the Croatian international, Marko Tolić, and doubled the advantage early in the second half with a goal from Sharan Zuberu. Kevim Wimmer increased the lead to 3-0 in the 63rd minute, but the Romanian team reduced the deficit eleven minutes later. Juraj Kucka scored another goal for Slovan toward the end of the match, setting the final result.
In all the friendly matches, they recorded victories, with a goal difference of 11:2. In the league competition, they finished in first place with 69 points, two more than the second-placed Strede. They lost in the cup final to Spartak Trnava.
The red card for Juraj Kucka may mean that Kyriakos Savvidis will start in his place, while Tigran Barseghyan is expected to return to the starting lineup after being sacrificed in the first match.
Adler, Martin Trnovsky, and Cesar Blackman are all unavailable due to injuries for this match, although the latter should be available for the next round if his team advances.

Hesperange vs Slovan Bratislava Prediction
Taking into account the previous match in which there were many interesting situations, we believe that there will be more goals from both sides in this encounter. However, based on the previous duel and the fact that the away team managed to avoid defeat even with a player less, we think they have a slight advantage as favorites in this match. Therefore, we predict that the result will be a draw or a victory for the away team, with both teams scoring at least one goal.
