Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Slavia Prague welcome Anderlecht to the Fortuna Arena for a crucial Europa League encounter. The Czech giants have been a dominant force on home soil, and it has to be noted that they were more than unfortunate not to grab something from the Fenerbahce game. Slavia Prague missed several clear-cut opportunities to score against the Turkish side, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered.
Anderlecht, on the other hand, head into this clash on the back of a hard-fought 2-1 Jupiler League victory over rock-bottom Beerschot. Their form has been inconsistent, and the potential absence of forward Mario Stroeykens, who limped off injured at the weekend, could further hinder their attacking options. With no fresh injury concerns for Slavia and their proven strength at home, they are well-positioned to build on Anderlecht’s vulnerabilities. Taking everything into account, we predict that the hosts will prove their worth on the field.
Highlighted Team (Slavia Prague):
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.
The club was founded on November 2, 1892 and it has to be noted that the club was initially focused on cycling. In March 1896 Slavia Prague recorded their first ever victory, with the team beating AC Prague 5-0. The Cervenobili play their home games at Eden Arena and the capacity of the venue is 19.084 (football). Slavia Prague are well known for their red and white shirts and white shorts.
