Slovan Bratislava vs Klaksvik Prediction

Both sides started their continental campaigns this season in the UEFA Champions League but will have to settle for a place in the Conference League. Slovan Bratislava have competed in all three editions of UEFA's third-tier competition and will be aiming to repeat their feat of progressing to the round of 16 last season.

Klaksvik have made history just by being here and the size of their gargantuan feat is highlighted by the fact that Bratislava's stadium capacity is over four-and-half times the size of their town's entire population.

We are backing the hosts to claim a comfortable win with goals to be scored at both ends.
