Slovan Bratislava host Midtjylland in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League play-off on Wednesday with the tie all square at 1-1 from the first game.
There was little to choose between the two sides last week and the second leg is expected to be another closely-fought clash as Slovakian champions Slovan Bratislava and their Danish counterparts Midtjylland both hope to progress to the new main league phase of the UEFA Champions League.
Slovan Bratislava v Midtjylland will be broadcast on TNT Sports 3 in the UK.
Slovan Bratislava v Midtjylland will take place at the Národný futbalový štadión in Bratislava, Slovakia and kick-off is at 20:00 BST on Wednesday 28th August 2024.
Last week's first leg in Denmark was the first time the two sides had faced each other.
Slovan Bratislava are unbeaten in their last 11 competitive games and have come through the three qualifying rounds to reach this stage, beating Struga 6-3 on aggregate, Celje 6-1 overall and APOEL 2-0 over two legs so far.
Midtjylland are also unbeaten in their last 11 competitive fixtures but have only had to play in the second and third qualifying rounds before this play-off round stage, beating UE Santa Coloma 4-0 on aggregate and then Ferencváros 3-1 over two legs.

Either Matus Vojtko or Július Szöke will replace Zuberu Sharani at left-back for Slovan Bratislava after Sharani came off injured in the first half of the first leg.
Aside from that enforced change, the home side look likely to stick largely with the same players who picked up a draw last week.
Brazilian winger Marrony remains absent for Midtjylland, while defender Victor Bak is also out injured for the Danes, who may well field the same XI as the first leg.
