Union Berlin hosts Maccabi Haifa in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei, looking to avenge their opening-day defeat.
Slavia Praha defeated the Iron Ones 3-1 earlier this month after a late collapse. In the first half, they were reduced to ten men after defender Paul Jaeckel was given a second yellow card in the 39th minute.
Jan Kuchta and Ivan Schranz scored two goals in the final 10 minutes to deny the Bundesliga side a point and condemn them to the bottom of Group E.
Feyenoord held Haifa, the defending Israeli Premier League champions, to a goalless draw. The draw began a two-game losing streak that ended only last Sunday with a 2-0 league victory. Head-to-Head
