Dnipro-1 will play host to Vaduz at Kosicka Futbalova Arena in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday.

Dnipro-1 vs Vaduz Preview

The hosts were among the teams transferred to this competition after they were knocked out of the Europa League playoff round. Dnipro-1’s European campaign has been beset by the crisis in Ukraine as they have been forced to play home matches abroad. They have also faced cascading departures and injuries.

The Kherson-based outfit opened their group stage campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Dutch side AZ, who sit atop Group E with six points. Dnipro-1’s second outing was a success as they crushed Apollon Limassol of Cyprus 3-1 to claim the group’s second spot. They will hope to underpin their status with a win over Vaduz.

Initially deemed one of the minnows of the Conference League, the team from Liechtenstein have proved many wrong since they kicked off in the second round. Vaduz overcame Turkish side Konyaspor in the third round before stopping the progress of Austrian side Rapid Wien in the playoffs. However, they are yet to record a win at this stage.

Residenzler have reached the group stage of the UEFA competition for the first time. That doesn’t mean they are neophytes. They have been playing continental games since the early 1990s and boast 86 UEFA matches. Vaduz sit bottom of the group with one point and need to claim a win or a draw next to avoid early elimination.
