Slovan vs Aris head to head stats
On Thursday, August 24th, Slovan Bratislava will be hosting Aris Limassol at the Tehelne Pole stadium for the opening match of the UEFA Europa League playoff.
Slovan Bratislava, in pursuit of their third consecutive appearance in the European finals, transitioned to the Europa League after their aspirations in the Champions League were halted in the third qualifying round. Maccabi Haifa from Israel emerged victorious over them across two matches, securing a 5-2 aggregate triumph. Despite this setback, there remains an opportunity for Bratislava to secure a spot in the Europa League group stage.
Meanwhile, Aris Limassol also harbored hopes of entering the Champions League; however, their journey came to an end just prior to the playoffs as Rakow Czestochowa dashed their ambitions.
After facing consecutive defeats at the hands of the Polish side, Limassol managed to bounce back by defeating AEK Larnaca in the Cypriot First Division over the weekend. Jaden Montnor and Matija Spoljaric found the net for the Light Brigade, commencing their league campaign with a victory. This triumph has undoubtedly injected a surge of confidence as they approach the upcoming clash against Bratislava.
