Steffen Schmidt - August 29, 2023

Aris Limassol vs Slovan Bratislava
UEFA Europa League Qualification
Date: 31 August 2023, Thursday
Kick-off at 18:00 UK / 19:00 CET
Venue: Alphamega Stadium (Kolossi).

Aris Limassol will chase a one-goal deficit in the UEFA Europa League playoffs tie against Slovan Bratislava on Thursday evening when the two teams meet each other in the second leg at Alphamega Stadium in Kolossi.

The Cypriot outfit now have three consecutive slender defeats in Europe, having fallen twice in a row to Rakow Czestochowa in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round.

They’ve interrupted this negative streak with a 2-0 victory over AEK Larnaca on the opening day of the new season in the Cypriot elite class ten days ago.

Aris are the bookies’ favorites ahead of this rematch and we should not be surprised to see it knowing did little to stay competitive in the Champions League tie against Maccabi Haifa earlier.

Slovan Bratislava have generally been struggling to perform under Vladimir Weiss since the start of the season.

They barely went past the likes of Swift Hesperange and Zrinjski Mostar in the opening two rounds of the Champions League qualifications.

The Slovakians also took just five points in the inaugural three Gameweeks of the new season in the domestic league.

The lack of defensive meticulousness has been a problem for Weiss of late. Each of the last six matches Slovan played ended with the Over 2.5 goals FT & Both Teams To Score pick coming in as a consequence.

Aris Limassol vs Slovan Bratislava Head-to-head

• This will only be the second head to head meeting between Aris and Slovan.
• The first leg was played seven days ago and it brought an evenly-matched contest in which Slovan celebrated a 2-1 victory on home soil.

Aris Limassol vs Slovan Bratislava Prediction

Aris have a dangerous attacking line. They’ve demolished BATE Borisov in the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round and they put two goals past ARK Larnaca (a respectable outfit) in the first Matchday of the new 1. Division campaign in Cyprus.

Knowing how problematic Slovan’s defensive displays have been in the last several weeks, we will back the home win at the 1.80 odds and the Over 2.5 goals FT bet at the 1.95 odds.
