Arsenal travel to Prague as heavy favourites against a Slavia side that sits near the foot of the Champions League table. The Gunners have lost just once in their last seven matches across all competitions, and Mikel Arteta’s side arrives off the back of a gritty 1-0 win at Anfield. Slavia, meanwhile, have won only once in their last three European fixtures and sit 32nd of 36 teams in the League Phase standings with a single point to their name.
An interesting wrinkle here: these two clubs met in last season’s Champions League and Arsenal won 0-3 without conceding a shot on target worth remembering, a result that still looms over this rematch. Slavia’s home form in Europe has been shaky, and that history gives Arteta’s men a psychological edge before a ball is even kicked.

Keep an eye on Viktor Gyökeres, who has been directly involved in three goals across his last five Arsenal appearances and leads the line with real pace in behind. For Slavia, Mubarak Suleiman has been their standout attacker, contributing two goals and an assist in four matches and offering the hosts their clearest route to a goal.
Hot stat: the last time these two sides met in the Champions League, Arsenal won 0-3 in Prague without Slavia managing a single goal, a scoreline that mirrors the gap in class on paper this time around too.

Slavia Prague vs Arsenal prediction
We predict an Arsenal win, and backing them to win to nil looks like the smartest value play here. Arsenal have conceded just two goals in three Champions League group games this season, and Slavia have struggled to find the net against sides outside the Czech top flight, managing only two goals in their last two European outings. The bookmakers already price Arsenal at around 75% to win, and we think that number is fair given the gulf in squad depth and recent form.
Stylistically, Slavia are the more physical side, averaging 50 fouls and 5 yellow cards across their last five matches compared to Arsenal’s 40 fouls, though the Gunners have picked up 8 yellow cards in that span due to a higher defensive workload against stronger opposition. Arsenal’s passing numbers stand out too, completing 2292 accurate passes at roughly 86% accuracy compared to Slavia’s 84%. That control of possession should let Arsenal dictate tempo and limit Slavia’s transitions, which is exactly the kind of game state that tends to produce clean sheets for the away side.

Team Analysis
Slavia Prague’s recent domestic form has been solid on paper, three wins and three draws in their last seven matches, but the quality of opposition tells a different story. Their most recent match ended in a comfortable 5-0 win over Jablonec, a result that flatters a side still searching for consistency against stronger continental opposition. Before that, a 1-1 draw with Mlada Boleslav and a 2-2 scramble against Fenerbahce in Europe exposed defensive gaps that Arsenal’s attack should look to exploit early. In our preview of Fenerbahce vs Slavia Prague we backed the hosts to win comfortably and keep a clean sheet, and the eventual 2-2 draw went against that call, a reminder that Slavia can still find goals even when expected to struggle.
Arsenal arrive full of confidence after grinding out a 1-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield, a result built on defensive discipline rather than attacking fireworks. Before that, draws against Fleetwood and Bayern Munich showed occasional lapses in concentration, but five wins from their last seven matches overall point to a side peaking at the right time. In our preview of Liverpool vs Arsenal we called for a narrow Arsenal win built on their defensive solidity, and the 1-0 scoreline backed that read, even if the exact margin came in tighter than our 2-1 lean suggested.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Arsenal the favourite
- Moneyline Slavia Prague 10.98 | Arsenal 1.26
- Draw 6.47
The market leaves no doubt here. Bookmakers give Arsenal roughly a 75% chance of winning compared to just 9% for Slavia, and the odds across nearly every operator sit inside a narrow range around 1.25 for an Arsenal win. That kind of consensus pricing tells us the bookmakers see this as close to a formality, and our own read of the squad quality and recent form lines up with that view. Perhaps the only temptation is the draw price near 6.50, but Slavia’s defensive record in Europe makes that a risky punt.
Possible Starting Lineups
Slavia Prague possible starting eleven
- GK: Nazar Domchak
- DF: Tomáš Holeš, David Zima, Tomáš Vlček, Ange N’Guessan
- MF: Michal Sadílek, David Moses, Wiktor Nowak, Emmanuel Ayaosi, Mubarak Suleiman
- FW: Mojmír Chytil
Trpisovsky should stick with the 4-2-3-1 that has served Slavia well domestically, pairing Sadílek and Moses in a double pivot to shield a back four that has looked shaky against stronger sides. Suleiman gets the nod in the attacking midfield trio given his direct goal involvement, and Chytil leads the line as the most consistent presence in the final third.
Arsenal possible starting eleven
- GK: David Raya
- DF: Gabriel, Jurriën Timber, Ben White, Myles Lewis-Skelly
- MF: Declan Rice, Martín Zubimendi, Martin Odegaard, Eberechi Eze, Mikel Merino
- FW: Viktor Gyökeres
Arteta will likely stay with the same 4-2-3-1 shape that has carried Arsenal through a strong run of form. Rice and Zubimendi offer protection in front of the back four, while Odegaard and Eze provide the creative spark behind Gyökeres, who should look to stretch a Slavia defense that has already conceded seven goals in five recent matches.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Arsenal to win this one comfortably, perhaps by a two-goal margin, and to keep a clean sheet in the process. Their defensive record in the Champions League this season, just two goals conceded in three matches, matches up well against a Slavia attack that has gone quiet against anyone outside the Czech league’s bottom half. The historical head-to-head result, a 0-3 Arsenal win in Prague, only strengthens our confidence in backing the away side again. To be honest, the only surprise would be Slavia scoring at all, and even then we expect Arsenal’s class to show through by full time.
