Slovan Bratislava vs Pyunik Prediction and Betting Tips | 27th October 2022

Slovan Bratislava will play host to Pyunik at Tehelné Pole in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday.

Slovan Bratislava vs Pyunik Preview

All four teams in Group H are capable of making it to the summit as none have been eliminated from the race. Slovan Bratislava sit third with five points – two behind leaders Basel and one shy of Pyunik. The Slovak side have revenge on the mind, having suffered a 2-0 setback against the visitors in their first meeting.

Following modest yields from their first two games, Belasí stunned Basel at home 2-0 followed by a 3-3 draw in the reverse clash. Slovan have also been demonstrating their sparkling form on the home front, leading the Slovak Super League alongside qualification for the Slovak Cup third round. They look set to take on the Armenians.

The visitors come into the meeting on the back of a 2-1 defeat to fourth-placed Zalgiris. A win in that game would have propelled them to the summit following Basel’s setback. However, here comes another opportunity. Pyunik must avoid defeat to maintain their second spot. A win could move them to the top if Basel stumble against Zalgiris.

Akademiya are reaching this stage of the UEFA club competition for the first time and hope to make their efforts count. However, they have only been truly menacing at home and have been disappointing on the road. Pyunik are yet to win or draw any away fixtures so far in the group. They need to put this right if they intend to progress.
