Slovan Bratislava and Dinamo Batumi will begin their Champions League qualifying campaigns when they face off at Tehelne Pole in the first leg of their first round fixture on Wednesday night.
Both sides won their domestic league titles to book a place in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, with Slovan Bratislava claiming their fourth consecutive Slovakian First League title, while Dinamo Batumi won their first-ever Georgian top flight title in 2021.
While Dinamo Batumi will head into the match already up to speed in terms of their league campaign, Slovan Bratislava have played four friendly games in preparations for the Wednesday’s clash.
Dinamo Batumi head into the match in a good for having gone unbeaten in their last 17 games, and are coming off a four-match winning streak, while their hosts have won just one of their four friendly games, drawing two while losing one, and are coming off three winless matches.
Therefore, we expect Dinamo Batumi to fancy their chances and should be confident as they are also unbeaten in their last eight away games.
