Match review Slavia Prague vs Arsenal, 0:45 on November 5: Walking around Prague

VHO - Commenting on the match between Slavia Prague and Arsenal, Champions League qualifying round, it is very difficult for coach Mikel Arteta and his team to lose points on their trip to Prague.

Slavia Prague vs Arsenal form

Arsenal are among the top 5 teams to have won all 3 matches in the 2025/26 Champions League qualifying round. In terms of defensive record, only Inter Milan can match the London giants. Both have yet to concede a goal.

Coach Mikel Arteta and his team's clean sheet streak will most likely be extended to 4. After all, the Gunners' opponent in this match is only Slavia Prague, a team ranked 28th/36 with only 2 points.

Slavia Prague may be leading the Czech Republic National Championship with an unbeaten record after 14 rounds, but when entering the most prestigious playground in the continent, the team under the command of coach Jindrich Trpisovsky proved to be too small.

Before welcoming Arsenal, the home team is on a 6-match unbeaten streak, including 5 clean sheets in the last 20 home games. In addition, in the last 20 home games, Mbodji and his teammates have only lost 1, drawn 4 and won 15.

However, the impressive statistics mentioned above will easily be overshadowed by the dazzling halo of the opponent on the other side of the battle line. Arsenal is simply stronger in every aspect. Slavia Prague's home record or impressive defensive form will not bring much meaning when facing one of the most fearsome giants in Europe at present.

The 2-0 win last weekend helped Arsenal extend their winning streak to 9. After 15 appearances since the start of the season, The Gunners have only dropped points in 2 matches. That was a 0-1 defeat at Liverpool's Anfield and a 1-1 draw when hosting Man City.

Arsenal is in a very stable form.

The rest, Arsenal won and left the field with only one more goal conceded (in the 2-1 victory at Newcastle). The depth and perfect balance between the lines of the squad has turned the London giants into a very difficult team to beat.

With a very stable performance since the beginning of the season, Arsenal is flying high at the top of the Premier League, creating a gap of up to 6 points compared to the nearest rival. With good form and spirit, of course, Arteta and his team will go to the Czech Republic with the goal of winning all 3 points.

Thanks to the abundant personnel at hand, the Spanish strategist will likely make a few adjustments to the starting lineup, both to help some key players rest and recuperate, and to create opportunities for those who rarely get to play to show themselves.
