Shkendija and Slovan Bratislava will trade tackles in a UEFA Conference League fixture on Thursday (December 11th). The game will be played at National Arena Toshe Proeski.
The home side will be looking to build on the 3-1 away win they registered over Bashkimi in the Macedonian Football League over the weekend. They were 2-1 up at the break, with Armend Alimi’s fourth-minute own goal putting them ahead while Filip Aleksovski equalized two minutes later. Fabrice Tamba restored the visitors’ lead in the 34th minute. Fiton Ademi stepped off the bench to secure the win in the 74th minute.
Thanks for the submission!
Bratislava, meanwhile, fell to a 2-0 defeat away to Kosice in the Slovenian Nike Liga. Jan Krivak and Milan Rehus scored in either half to help their side claim all three points.
The Sky Blues will shift their attention to the continent, where their last game saw them claim a shock 2-1 comeback home win over Rayo Vallecano. Shkendija fell to a 1-0 defeat away to Drita.
The defeat left them in 25th place in the standings, having garnered four points from as many games. Bratislava are 29th on three points.
Shkendija vs Slovan Bratislava Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- This will be the first meeting between the two sides.
- Bratislava are winless in their last 12 away games in UEFA club competitions including qualifiers (eight loses).
- Eight of Shkendija’s last 10 home games produced fewer than three goals.

Shkendija vs Slovan Bratislava Prediction
Shkendija have won five of their last seven games, but one of the two losses in that run came in the UECL. That has left the Ballists’ on the cusp of being knocked out of the running for advancement to the knockout round in their debut appearance in the main stage of a UEFA club competition.
Slovan Bratislava’s domestic campaign has taken a hit after they lost successive games. They had won the preceding five games across competitions, so they could still be confident of getting a positive result here.
We are backing the two sides to share the spoils in a low-scoring stalemate.
Prediction: Shkendija 1-1 Slovan Bratislava
