Dnipro-1 host Spartak Trnava at the Kosicka Futbalova Arena on Thursday for the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League playoff clash.
The tie is currently poised at 1-1 after the sides played out a draw in the first leg. Kelvin Ofori broke the deadlock for Spartak Trnava in the 55th minute, before Oleksandr Pikhalyonok equalized for Dnipro-1 just 12 minutes later.
Making only their second excursion in Europe, Dnipro-1 are aiming to reach the Conference League group stages for the second year in a row.
On the other hand, Spartak Trnava are looking for their first European qualification since the 2018-19 season, when the Slovakian team reached the Europa League group stages.
