Slavia Praha vs Arsenal Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Champions League 2025-26

The Red and Whites will take on the Gunners on matchday four of the UEFA Champions League

Czechia giants Slavia Praha are undefeated in the Czech First League so far, but they have dropped a lot of points in their last few matches. In three games in the UEFA Champions League so far, they haven’t been able to win a match; they have lost once and drawn twice. With two points on the board, they are sitting in 28th spot in the table.

Defence will be a major concern for them, as they have conceded some cheap goals and especially after leading the match. They face a team who are offensively very strong, especially on set pieces, and they will have to make sure not to repeat the same mistakes. Surely the home atmosphere will be in favour of them, but still their chances of getting a good result are very less.

On the other hand, the Gunners are on a different level this season, as Mikel Arteta’s team are in great form. They are looking very determined this season to win trophies, as they have one of the strongest defences in Europe without any doubt. Quality-wise, they are a much better side and will be confident of getting three points from this fixture. In three matches so far, they have won all three and are sitting at fourth spot in the table. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Form

Slavia Prague (in all competitions): W-D-D-D-D

Players to Watch

Christos Zafiris (Slavia Praha)

The Greek international is on loan from the Greek Super League side PAOK, and so far, he has been quite impressive. He is still in his early twenties and has a lot to learn, but he is someone who can make a difference on the pitch.

Earlier, he used to play for Norway, as he played for many youth international sides, but since he was born in Greece, he changed his allegiance. In 12 matches so far, he has scored twice and provided two assists.

Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)

Saka will be a big threat to the home team, as he can tear apart defences with his dribbling and pace. Slavia Praha will surely play a low block and will not give Saka a lot of space and time to exploit.

The Englishman will have to be patient against Prague, as he will be up against a physical team that will try to make things difficult for him. In 11 matches so far, he has scored four goals and surely will be hungry and confident going into this fixture.
