Prediction: 1-1
Lille
A place in the Champions League group stages will be at stake when Slavia Prague and Lille square off against each other at Fortuna Arena. Slavia need a big win in the second leg if they are to advance to the group stages and they are likely to adopt an attack-oriented strategy in the reverse fixture. The likes of Zmrzly, Vlcek, Stanek, Ogungbayi, and Chaloupek have been struggling with injuries of late, while Lukas Masopust is a major doubt.
Les Dogues, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in all competitions, but beating Slavia in Czech Republic is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, both teams to score betting option should be considered as Lille are likely to have opportunities to score on the break. The good news for the visiting side is that important midfielder Edon Zhegrova is back from the Ligue 1 ban.
