Match preview
Olympiacos came into this two-legged affair as overwhelming favourites to progress, but this is less so the case now.
A week ago, at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, Andre Green fired the visitors into a shock lead.
It remained 1-0 until the 86th minute when Youssef El-Arabi rescued a draw for the serial Greek Champions.
So, 1-1 it finished, meaning it’s winner takes all at Tehelné pole.
Olympiacos have reached 20 Champions League and 23 Europa League group stages, last failing to appear in either in 2010.
Now under Carlos Corberán, they’re under pressure to save their European season.
ŠK Slovan Bratislava meantime won the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1969, qualifying for the Europa League in 2019 and the Europa Conference League group phase last season.
Having only lost four of their last 19 European home games, the Slovakian champions will fancy their chances of an upset in this second leg.
Whoever does advance will be guaranteed group stage football, taking on Apollon Limassol in the Europa League play-offs.
The loses will face a do-or-die Europa Conference League play-off against HŠK Zrinjski Mostar or Tobol.
