Match preview
Having been dumped out the Europa League last week, will Slovácko save their European season?
Last season, they won the Czech Cup for the very first time, causing a big upset by defeating Sparta Prague in the final.
However, Martin Svědík’s team were outclassed in the Europa League third qualifying round by Fenerbahçe.
Last Thursday’s 1-1 home draw, in which Ondřej Šašinka scored, futile given that they’d been beaten 3-0 in İstanbul a week earlier.
This though, aside from the Intertoto Cup, was just Slovácko’s second European tie, dumped out by Lokomotiv Plovdiv 12 months ago.
So, if they’re to reach a first-ever group stage, Slovácko will need a first-ever win in major UEFA competition.
This season, AIK have needed extra time to edge past Vorskla Poltava, before overcoming Shkëndija on penalties.
In the previous round, both legs finished 1-1, meaning a penalty shootout was required in Skopje.
Half of the spot-kicks were actually missed, but Bilāl Ḥusayn, Nicolás Stefanelli and Axel Björnström all converted as the Swedish club snuck through.
Bartosz Grzelak’s team have rode their luck in this competition, so will hoping that continues in this tie.
Who will come out on top at Městský fotbalový stadion Miroslava Valenty?
