The Falcons registered wins in their first two games of the campaign last month while keeping clean sheets. They have kept clean sheets in their two home meetings against the visitors and will look to build on that record.

Martin Dúbravka is a key absentee for them and has been left out of the squad due to an injury. Ivan Schranz and Juraj Kucka have also been left out due to injuries while Ondrej Duda and Tomáš Suslov are doubts.

Blågult have won their first two games of the campaign, scoring three goals apiece, and will look to continue their goalscoring form here. They have scored at least two goals in four of their last five away games in the competition.

Alexander Isak misses out due to injury while Victor Nilsson is back from an injury that kept him out of the September international break.

While both teams have enjoyed winning starts to their campaign, considering the key absentees for the hosts, we are backing the Blue and Yellow to eke out a narrow win.
