The city of Prague was painted green ahead of tonight's game (22:00) between local Slavia and Maccabi Haifa at the Eden Arena Stadium.
More than 3,000 fans came from Israel to support Barak Bachar's team, which is looking for a second consecutive victory in the Conference League.
At least another 10,000 locals will be in the stadium, which has about 20,000 seats.
What particularly obscures the green celebration is the blow of injuries the team is facing.
Haifa continues to suffer injuries and shortages.
Yesterday, before the concluding training, the brakeman Bogdan Planic did not feel well and did not participate in the training.
At first, coach Barak Bachar considered coming up with three brakes, when Sean Goldberg and Rami Gershon were supposed to start alongside Planitch, but the latest news may change the plan.
In any case, if the Serb can play, he will open.
"Bogdan did not feel well," Bachar said at the press conference ahead of the match, "when there is something to announce, we will announce. He is currently in doubt."
On the other shortcomings - including stopper Uri Dahan, defender Ryan Strain and midfielders Mahmoud Jaber and Neta Lavie - the coach said: "There are injuries, it's because of the intensity. Playing against Slavia Prague, Feyenoord and Union Berlin takes a lot of energy. We will have to combine, not endanger players, "And still get in it the strongest vehicle for me in the situation that has arisen. There are more injured players, and everything has to be taken into account."

In terms of linking and offense, Bachar can certainly smile.
Jose Rodriguez, Ali Muhammad, Noble Omar and Charon Sheri are expected to be in the squad, and Hod Ben Shehar is currently a favorite, although Dean David is also in the picture.
"We have to be aggressive, they are very physical," Bachar warned his players.
In Prague they seek revenge
The local media is dealing with the "sporting revenge" that Slavia owes its fans in the second game against the Greens, after the loss to Sami Ofer.
Despite the fact that this time too the Czech team will be missing, as its ranks also have quite a few injured and removed players, coach Yendrich Trypovsky said: "We want to beat Maccabi Haifa, we have to win - and we did not forget what was in the game. In our home, we have a lot more power here. "

It is not certain that Trypovsky is aware of what awaits him tonight in the stands of his home stadium.
Haifa fans are expected to march through the city streets in the afternoon and arrive at the stadium in an organized manner.
