Hibernians take on FA Spartak Trnava in the second leg of their UEFA Conference League second round qualifier trailing 2-1 from the first leg in Malta last week.
It will be a stiff test in just their second competitive game of the new season yet despite the narrow defeat last week, they showed glimpses of what the coming season may hold.
A mix of experience and new signings seemed to blend well in that opening match and a draw would probably have been a fair result. Spartak had led for much of the game but Hibs got themselves back into the game with a powerful header from new signing Charleston. A headed backpass by Charleston failed to reach Branescu who fouled the onrushing Kudlicka. Penalty said referee Kastrati. Up stepped Prochazka who sent Branescu the wrong way. Spartak back in the lead.
Disappointment for Hibernians who can take heart from their performance. Will they be able to overturn that loss away to Spartak. A big ask but in football anything can happen.
FA Spartak Trnava v Hibernians kick-off 5.30pm.
