Watching their respective Europa League qualifying adventure come to screeching end on August 28th as they fell to a 4-2 aggregate defeat against Young Boys, Slovan Bratislava have failed to muster a single clean sheet in their previous eight appearances across all competitions."

Strasbourg returned from the international break with consecutive Ligue 1 wins but fell 2-1 at home to Marseille under manager Liam Rosenior.
