Conference league
Who are Slavia’s rivals? Musa’s former team, the Israeli champion or the leading team in the Dutch league
The draw for the Conference League, which will include Prague Slavia, took place yesterday. The latter lost the game against Legia Warsaw yesterday and will not be part of the more prestigious league, but they don’t have to mourn because their opponents will be really tough.
The draw for the Conference League, which will include Prague Slavia, took place yesterday. The latter lost the match against Legia Warsaw yesterday and will not be part of the more prestigious league, but they don’t have to mourn because their opponents will be really tough.
Slavia was seeded in the first basket, but they didn’t really avoid tough opponents as they got some of the toughest possible opponents in every performance basket.
Feyenoord Rotterdam
The fifth team of last season’s Dutch Eredivisie was drawn in Group E from the second basket. The team has played two games in the league so far, which they have won, and they can also enjoy a 6: 0 record. Feyenoord will therefore be a really tough nut to crack for Slavia. The team will mainly rely on its offensive strength and will be expecting a lot from Brian Linssen, who is proving his excellent form in the Eredivisie, having scored three goals from two games. Fans also have high hopes for Brighton’s new signing, Iranian winger Alireza Jahanbakhsh. Slovakian Róbert Boženík is also in the squad.
Union Berlin
The side from the German capital, drawn in the third performance basket, is perhaps the biggest favourite in this group. Last year’s surprise of the German Bundesliga, when the team finished in 7th place, will probably rely on more performance quality. The team, which last season had striker Petar Musa on loan from Slavia Prague, will probably have its biggest offensive support in the experienced Max Kruse. New signings such as Rani Khedira, who arrived from Augsburg, or Genki Haraguchi, who came as a free agent from Hannover, could also help the team.
Maccabi Haifa
Probably the biggest outsider should be last year’s Israeli league winner Maccabi Haifa. The team from the fourth basket will rely on a good defensive team and also on their offensive handcuffs, which are not really few in the team. The club, which had the best offense and defense in the Israeli league last season, will be looking for a small miracle against great competition to advance out of the group.
