The Ukrainian team has been poor of late, winning just one of their last five competitive games this season.
Last time out, Dnipro 1 drew 1-1 with Minai in the Ukrainian Premier League.
The game saw Dnipro fail to keep a clean sheet for a fifth straight consecutive competitive game, with their last clean sheet coming in their final game of last season.
The home team has already suffered an exit from the Champions League this season.
Their record in the Europa League suggests that an exit from this competition may soon follow, as they have lost all of their previous three games in the competition.
In contrast to the home team, Slavia Praha has been in strong form of late, as they head into this game on the back of five straight wins, including the first-leg victory in this tie.
Jindich Trpisovsky’s team has also been relatively prolific of late, scoring at least two goals in four of their previous five games in all competitions.
Despite their recent good form, the first-leg victory ended a four-game winless run in the Europa League for Slavia, who are far more experienced in the European game than their hosts.
The 3-0 win also continued a high-scoring trend for Slavia in the Europa League, as their last four matches in the competition have now all produced over 2.5 goals.
The club from the Czech capital have endured mixed fortunes on their travels of late in the competition, winning just three of their last six games away games.
Forebet predicts that Slavia Praha will record another victory to cruise past the hosts and book their place in the next round of the competition.
