Slavia Prague – Champions League Form and Betting Odds

Slavia Prague are still searching for their first Champions League victory this season, having collected just one point from three fixtures, the Czech champions came from two goals behind to draw 2-2 against Fenerbahce last time out. However, they have now gone 22 consecutive Champions League matches without victory (D8, L14).
Defensive performances have been a concern for Slavia, who have conceded at least twice in eight of their last nine Champions League home fixtures. The hosts have also failed to win any of their previous nine European matches in Prague (D4, L5).
The hosts have struggled against English opposition in Europe, failing to score in their last five home meetings with Premier League clubs. However, Slavia have enjoyed more success domestically, scoring nine unanswered goals in their previous two league matches, William Hill offer 9/1 for the Czech champions to cause an upset on Wednesday.

Arsenal remain unbeaten in this season’s Champions League, collecting seven points from their opening three fixtures (W2, D1). Mikel Arteta’s side kept clean sheets against Napoli and Lille before drawing 2-2 with Bayern Munich, the Gunners have conceded just twice in Europe this season, giving them one of the competition’s strongest defensive records.
The visitors have been particularly impressive on their European travels, going unbeaten in their last nine Champions League away matches (W6, D3), they have also scored in 14 consecutive away fixtures in this competition, a record that offers plenty of encouragement ahead of Wednesday’s trip to Prague.
