- Slavia have taken six points from their last two competitive matches.
- Arsenal have seven points from their three UEFA Champions League 2026/2027 matches.
- Mubarak Suleiman has scored four of Slavia's 12 goals in the last five matches in all competitions.
Slavia will not lie down in Prague
Slavia come into this fixture unbeaten in their last five games (W2, D3) and on the back of back-to-back wins, a 4-0 victory over FC Zbrojovka Brno in the Czech Cup 2026/2027 and a 5-0 success away to Jablonec in the 1. Liga 2026/2027.
They do sit 32nd in UEFA Champions League 2026/2027 with one point from three games though and will know the size of the task at hand when they welcome a Gunners side which ran out 3-0 winners in the head-to-head in Prague in UEFA Champions League 2025/2026.
Jindrich Trpisovsky has been the driving force behind Slavia's aggressive, territory-heavy game plan since 2018 and it's an approach that has produced a string of results recently. This has been achieved by central overloads and exploiting transition chaos, which makes a clash with Arsenal, who play with structure and control, particularly interesting.
The Gunners will be the favourites
Mikel Arteta has Arsenal playing football in a more structured way, dictating the tempo by coordinating pressing and rotating positions. The players have bought into it and they have secured a huge 1-0 win over Liverpool in the Premier League 2026/2027 at the weekend.
The 1.26 for an away win seem a touch short, but there is little doubt that the Gunners are the favourites and should have the quality to nick this if Slavia make a game of it.
Both teams to score - Yes seems a good bet
Slavia's home games in this season's UEFA Champions League 2026/2027 have averaged 2.00 goals scored and 3.00 conceded per match, which suggests we may be in for a lively affair.
Arsenal have scored three goals in two UEFA Champions League 2026/2027 away matches and, with the 1.5 odds for Over 2.5 goals, this looks like a high-scoring affair. The 1.9 for Both Teams to Score - Yes should also suit a game where both will land punches, but Arsenal should eventually nick it.
