Having lost both their games, Spartak are at the bottom of Group H without a point and on the brink of elimination.

The White Angels were battered 4-0 by Ludogorets Razgrad in their opening game before suffering a narrow 2-1 loss to Fenerbahce at home on matchday two.

Another setback this week could deal a mortal to their chances of reaching the knockouts, but their recent form doesn't hold them in good stead to win this game.

Michal Gašparík's side lost 2-1 to Slovan Bratislava in the Slovak Super Liga on Sunday, their second loss in four games across competitions.

Nordsjaelland, meanwhile, are second in the group with three points in two games. Like Spartak, the Norwegian side also lost their first game, going down 3-1 to Fenerbahce. However, they recovered to thrash Ludogorets Razgrad 7-1 in their next game to revive their European campaign.

Moreover, on Sunday, the Tigers beat Viborg 2-0 in the Superliga, courtesy of an own goal from Jean-Manuel Mbom followed by another from Marcus Ingvartsen.

Spartak Trnava vs Nordsjaelland Prediction

Neither side is in good shape right now, with Spartak particularly struggling in defence.

Nordsjaelland, though, have shown signs of improvement, and their last Conference League game showed what they are capable of.

It will likely not be another 7-1 win, but it should be another victory nonetheless.

Prediction: Spartak 1-2 Nordsjaelland
