Prediction: 1-1
Slavia Prague
Athletic Bilbao will look to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Espanyol when they face Slavia Prague in the Europa League round 3. The Lions defeated AZ Alkmaar 2-0 in their last Europa League game, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Thursday’s encounter. With the Williams brothers being fit for the match, the hosts are widely expected to grab something from the match. Both Unai Simon and Mikel Vesga are sidelined with injuries for the home side.
Jindrich Trpisovsky’s troops, on the other hand, are enjoying yet another successful season, with the team leading the chase for the domestic trophy, while collecting four points in total from the first two Europa League games. Slavia Prague and Athletic Bilbao seem to be evenly matched at the moment and even though the Basques are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The Likes of Ogbu, Schranz, and Vorlicky are injured for the visiting team.

Inaki Williams is one of the most talented Spanish players. The pacey winger, who plays as a centre-forward as well, started his senior career at Basconia, scoring seven goals in 18 appearances for the club. In 2014 he moved to Athletic Bilbao, but he played for the reserve team at the beginning.
Inaki impressed in the 2014/2015 season with Athletic Bilbao B and, as a result, he was given a chance to prove his worth in the Spanish top flight with the first team.

Slavia Prague is considered one of the most famous teams in Czech Republic. The Cervenobili won the Czechoslovak First League on 13 occasions and they lifted their fourth Czech First League in 2017. Despite winning the domestic trophy in the 2016/2017 season, Slavia Prague eventually failed to book their place in the Champions League group stages as they were beaten by APOEL of Cyprus in the play-offs. Sparta Prague are regarded as Slavia’s fiercest rivals and the two teams face each other in the Prague derby.
