Legia Warsaw – Slavia Prague
26.08.2021
Legia Warsaw and Slavia Prague are set to battle it out in one of the most exciting UEFA Europa League playoffs ties on Thursday evening. We saw no winner in the first leg and the match ended in a draw – 2:2. Slavia were aiming for the group phase of the UEFA Champions League this summer, but an unfortunate 2-0 loss at Ferencvaros denied them a place in the playoffs of the elite continental competition. The Czech champions began the title defense quest in the new domestic campaign with an impeccable record of four wins in four games and a brutal goal difference of 10-1 along the way.
Legia fell 0-3 to Qarabag in the UEFA Europa League playoffs last season, while they also managed no more than one goal in two legs of the UEFA Champions League loss to Dinamo Zagreb this summer. We expect Slavia to justify the favorites tag, keep hold of Legia’s attacking line, and record a clean sheet win that would send them through to the Europa League groups.
This match will be played on 26/08/2021 at 22:00.
