- Slavia Prague are unbeaten in their last 5 competitive games, winning 2 and drawing 3.
- Arsenal have won 3, drawing 1 and losing 1 across all competitions.
- Arsenal have won 1 and drawn 1 of their 2 UEFA Champions League 2026/2027 away games to date.
Slavia are no pushovers
SK Slavia Prague will provide a stern test for Arsenal when Arsenal travel to Czechia to face them at the Fortuna Arena on Wednesday. The home side are in good form, coming into the game on the back of a pair of impressive wins - a 4-0 Czech Cup 2026/2027 success over FC Zbrojovka Brno on Friday night followed by a 5-0 thrashing of Jablonec on the road in the 1. Liga 2026/2027 last time out.
Since Jindrich Trpisovsky took charge of Slavia back in 2018, he has set his side up to play an aggressive, territory-heavy game with a very high pressing game and a rapid transition from defence to attack.
They will attempt to overwhelm Arsenal in what should be a clash of contrasting styles, with Mikel Arteta's men playing with structure and control, using coordinated pressing and positional rotations. Arsenal recently demonstrated their ability to win away from home in a big game when they claimed a 1-0 victory at Liverpool in the Premier League 2026/2027 and will certainly be confident that they can win in Prague.
Slavia can keep the Gunners on their toes
Arsenal will arrive as the clear favourites, but the 13/50 about an away win is still very skinny, so instead we'll take the 9/10 about Both Teams to Score - Yes, which should be a decent fit for this clash of styles.
Slavia's 1 UEFA Champions League 2026/2027 home game so far has averaged 2.00 goals scored and 3.00 conceded, so we are definitely expecting some end-to-end action here and the 1/2 about Over 2.5 goals looks about right for what should be a lively affair.
The hosts do have a real spark in Danish striker Danijel Sturm for the Champions League having scored 2 goals in 1 game so far in UEFA Champions League 2026/2027, however, Martin Oedegaard will be Arsenal's best attacking reference after netting just 1 in 1 in the competition to date. Arsenal have scored 3 goals in 2 away games so should be able to go to Prague and nick a couple of chances, but Slavia's recent scoring form means they should be a threat too and we're expecting them to make this a fight for the visitors.
The last head-to-head encounter in Prague during the UEFA Champions League 2025/2026 campaign finished 3-0 to Arsenal, so Slavia know just how big their task is going to be here. However, Slavia have scored 12 in their last 5 in all competitions, so they are in a great place to put on a show in front of their own fans.
