How Are Slavia Prague and Arsenal Playing?
Both clubs enjoyed domestic victories over the weekend, although their Champions League performances tell very different stories.
Slavia Prague Recent Form
Slavia arrive following convincing victories against Jablonec (5-0) and Zbrojovka Brno (4-0), scoring nine unanswered goals. However, European results have been disappointing. Defeats against Lens (3-2) and Sabah (2-0) were followed by a 2-2 draw at Fenerbahçe, where Slavia recovered from two goals down.
The Czech side have gone nine consecutive home European matches without winning. Facing Arsenal presents another difficult challenge.
Arsenal Recent Form
Arsenal arrive after beating Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield, following another clean-sheet victory against Everton.
Their Champions League campaign has been equally impressive. Wins over Napoli (1-0) and Lille (3-0) preceded a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich. Arteta’s side have scored six European goals while conceding just twice. Bukayo Saka remains sidelined with a thigh injury, while William Saliba is recovering from a back problem. Eberechi Eze’s fitness also requires monitoring.
Slavia Prague vs Arsenal Key Factors
Three elements could decide Wednesday’s Champions League encounter.
- Arsenal’s European consistency: The Gunners are unbeaten in nine away Champions League matches, winning six and drawing three. Their defensive organisation makes them particularly difficult to break down.
- Slavia’s domestic scoring form: Nine goals across their last two domestic victories suggest the hosts have attacking confidence. However, translating that form into Champions League results remains a challenge.
- Arsenal’s head-to-head dominance: The Gunners won 3-0 in Prague last November, with Mikel Merino scoring twice. Slavia have never scored against Arsenal on home soil.
Arsenal should control significant periods through midfield, although Slavia could threaten through counterattacks and set pieces.

Arsenal have scored in their last 14 away Champions League matches, while Slavia have gone 22 games without a victory in the competition proper. Those figures strongly favour the visitors, particularly when considering the hosts’ defensive struggles against European opposition.

Slavia Prague vs Arsenal 1X2 Odds
