Last Thursday, after securing a 2-2 draw against Dnipro-1, Vaduz will be looking to play at the same level as they host Dnipro-1 at Rheinpark Stadium on Thursday night with kickoff at 10 pm.
Vaduz is likely to be full of confidence after drawing with Dnipro earlier in this Europa League group stage, as they now sit just two points behind their opponents.
Their impressive performance in Europe was not enough to inspire them to their first league victory on the weekend, but they did pick up another point with a 2-2 draw against FC Schaffhausen.
Both scorers from the league game, Merlin Hadzi, and Dejan Djokic, have only made substitute appearances so far in the Europa League, so both may become options from the start this time around if manager Alessandro Mangiarratti hopes to inspire another inspired performance.
Dnipro will be looking to make up for their 3-2 defeat to Vaduz in their last Europa League fixture by securing their second-place spot in the group this Thursday against Lugano.
The Ukrainian side is still yet to concede a goal in the league, winning five straight matches and scoring 12 goals thus far.
Forward Artem Dovbyk scored a hat-trick in their last league match as they beat Zorya Luhansk 3-0, with Dnipro dominating the proceedings.
