Slovacko will host Partizan at Mestsky Fotbalovy Stadion in Group D of the Europa Conference League group stage on Thursday.
Slovacko joined the Europa Conference League following their elimination from the Europa League in the third qualifying round. They secured passage to the group stage after tearing apart Swedish side AIK 4-0 in the playoff round. They are set to face German team FC Koln, French club OGC Nice and Partizan in Group D.
The Czech side are reaching the group stage of a UEFA competition for the first time. They will hope to make the most of their home advantage over Partizan ahead of their trip to Cologne.
Partizan are UEFA competition veterans. They were one of the top teams in the Europa Conference League's inaugural season last term, reaching the round of 16 before falling to Feyenoord.
They obtained qualification to the upcoming group stage after crushing Maltese team Ħamrun Spartans 7-4 in the playoffs. Crno-beli boast creative players like Bibras Natcho, who are capable of deciding the fate of a match. However, the team is quite depleted by injuries, as three key players are set to miss the clash.
Slovacko are not easily upended at home but that alone will not be enough to survive at this stage.
