REF’s picks

LASK are clear favourites to secure all three points given the stark contrast in European form. Slovan Bratislava lack the defensive stability required to contain sustained pressure on their travels.

1. 1The hosts have already shown they can compete at this level with a notable away win prior.
2. 2Slovan's heavy defeats in previous matches highlight a significant gap in quality.
