Slavia will take on Fenerbahce in Thursday’s rematch of the Conference League playoffs after a promising 3-2 win in Turkey. What result do European sites that focus on analysis and previews expect?

The Sixers have made a great start to the playoffs. With a much-changed line-up and without the ill coach Trpišovský, Slavia managed to win 3:2 in Istanbul, with Traoré, Oscar and Lingr scoring.

It’s a pity for Olayinka’s own goal at 2::3, a 3::1 result would have been even more promising, especially since the away goals rule no longer applies. Still, Slavia is in a great position.

They can draw with Fenerbahce any way they want, a one-goal loss would send the match into extra time. Slavia is more comfortable in European matches, where it plays open defences, than in the domestic league, where it conquers the opponent’s formed block.

Especially when Fenerbahce will have to attack and play at risk. It could open up windows in the Turkish defence that the Seychellois would like to exploit. They will have speedsters in the form of Olayinka, Sor or Schranz at their disposal.

Fenerbahce will come to Prague without Özil, who is still injured, and Zajc, who was in the starting lineup last time, is not in the nomination. Slavia can rely on Baha, who missed the last game due to cards, while Tomas Holeš and Ondrej Lingr were added to the list. Their start is uncertain.
