KuPS and Slovan Bratislava will square off in a UEFA Conference League clash on Thursday (November 6th). The game will be played at Tammelan Stadion.
The hosts will be aiming to build on the 3-2 comeback home win they registered over Inter Turku in the Finnish Veikkausliiga over the weekend. Iiro Jarvinen put the visitors ahead in the eighth minute, while Ibrahim Cisse equalized in first-half injury time. Saku Savolainen and Piotr Parzyszek scored second-half goals to put the hosts 3-1 up, while Floian Krebs pulled one back from the spot with 10 minutes left on the clock.
Bratislava, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 3-1 comeback away win over Podbrezova in the Slovakian Nike Liga. All four goals were scored in the first half, with Radek Siler putting the hosts ahead in the fifth minute while Robert Mak, Kelvin Ofori, and Nino Marcell scored a goal each to complete the turnaround.
The Sky Blues will shift their focus to the continent, where their last game saw them fall to a 1-0 defeat away to AZ Alkmaar. KuPS played out a goalless draw away to Breidablik.

KuPS vs Slovan Bratislava Prediction
KuPS have made a relatively bright start to the Conference League, having drawn both games. They have lost just two of their last 15 home games across competitions, although this game will not be played in their traditional home ground, Vare Arena.
Bratislava, on the other hand, are one of six sides yet to register their first points on the board. Another loss here would leave their hopes of advancing to the knockout rounds hanging in the balance.
We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
