Slavia Prague’s Form Analysis

In their most recent Champions League fixture, Jindřich Trpišovský’s squad was unable to match Inter’s intensity, resulting in a comprehensive 0-3 away defeat. This loss marked only Slavia’s second in their last seven Champions League encounters (which also include 4 wins and 1 draw). However, the Czech team has not secured a victory in the main phase of the tournament since 2007, extending their overall winless streak in the group or general stage to 13 matches (5 draws, 8 defeats). Furthermore, Slavia Prague has suffered losses in 9 of their last 10 away games against Italian opponents in various European competitions, with only one draw. The Prague-based club currently sits in 31st place in the standings with one point.

Atalanta vs Slavia Prague Betting Prediction

Atalanta’s home record in European competitions isn’t particularly stellar, and their attacking output at home often leaves much to be desired. In their last 14 Champions League home games, Atalanta has only managed to score more than two goals on a single occasion, and in four of those matches, they failed to score at all. Furthermore, in the first two matchdays of the current Champions League campaign, the Italian side has only found the back of the net twice.

Slavia Prague also exhibits a lack of attacking potency, especially on the road. In their last 12 away Champions League fixtures, Slavia has never scored more than one goal. More strikingly, in half of those matches, the Czechs failed to score entirely. However, their defense tends to be robust away from home; in 10 of their last 12 away Champions League encounters, Slavia Prague has not allowed their opponents to score more than two goals.

Considering these defensive statistics and the recent attacking struggles of both teams, it is highly improbable that this match will be a goal-fest. Therefore, my prediction for this fixture is: “Total Under 3.5 Goals” with odds of 1.60
