Slavia Prague vs Arsenal Prediction, 00:45 November 5: Unstoppable

Pre-match review Slavia Prague vs Arsenal

The match between Slavia Prague and Arsenal is a clash of two extremes in the European Cup C1 qualifying round. While Arsenal has won all three of its opening matches and is in the top four, Slavia Prague has yet to taste victory and is 28th out of 36 teams with only two points.

Despite being the leader of the Czech national championship, Slavia Prague is too weak to step into the most prestigious playground in Europe. In fact, getting 2 draws is not a bad result for Slavia Prague, but they will hardly continue with what they have shown.

Between draws with Bodo Glimt and Atalanta, Slavia Prague lost 0-3 to Inter Milan. This shows that the Czech team can only hold out against "middle-class" opponents in the European arena. When facing real giants, they seem to just give up. This promises to be proven tomorrow morning, when Slavia Prague welcomes Arsenal.

Furthermore, Slavia Prague are actually winless in their last 14 Champions League games (D6 L8) since their first win in the competition in September 2007 against FCSB. This is the longest unbeaten run among the 36 teams in the competition this season.

At the moment, Arsenal are one of the strongest teams in Europe. The Gunners are leading the Premier League with 6 points more than Man City. In the Champions League, they are 4th but have a special statistic: keeping a clean sheet in all 3 matches. Of the 36 participating teams, only Arsenal and Inter have done this.

Arsenal's solid defense has been key to their impressive form, with Mikel Arteta's side enjoying a run of seven consecutive clean sheets in all competitions and they look set to add to that tally tonight.

Slavia Prague are no match for Arsenal in every way. Even with home advantage, the Czechs are unlikely to make a difference. Jindrich Trpisovsky’s side were one of four teams to fail to score in the second and third matches, and had the lowest expected goals (xG) of any team (0.84) in those two weeks. Their shots also had the lowest xG per shot value at just 0.04.

History of confrontations between Slavia Prague and Arsenal
