Match Overview

The 4th round match of the UEFA 2025/26 group stage between Slavia Prague (Czech Republic) and Arsenal (England) is scheduled for November 4th at the Eden Arena. Here’s a detailed prediction, betting odds, and statistical analysis for the Slavia Prague vs Arsenal encounter.

Slavia Prague Team Analysis

The Czech club has yet to secure a victory in the group stage of the tournament, currently sitting in 28th place. They began their campaign with a 2-2 draw at home against Bodø/Glimt, followed by two away fixtures in Italy. These saw them suffer a 3-0 defeat to Inter and then achieve a goalless draw against Atalanta. The last time Slavia failed to score in two consecutive matches was back in August 2017.

• The team has avoided defeat in 6 of its last 8 European Cup matches (4 wins and 2 draws).
• Slavia has remained unbeaten in their last five home matches (3 wins and 2 draws).
• Three or more goals have been scored in 5 of the last 7 home games for the Czech side in this tournament.

Slavia Prague Predicted Lineup (4-4-2)

Jakub Markovič – Youssouf M’Bodji, Jan Bořil, David Zima, Tomáš Vlček – Lukáš Provod, Oscar Dorley, Christos Zafeiris, David Moses – Tomáš Chorý, Vasil Kušej.

Out due to injuries: midfielders Petr Ševčík and David Douděra, defenders Dominik Javorček and Tomáš Holeš, forward Ivan Schranz.

Arsenal Team Analysis

After three rounds of the group stage, only five teams maintain a perfect record, having not dropped a single point. Arsenal is among them, impressively having not conceded a single goal. Besides them, only Inter has kept a clean sheet throughout. The English side secured a 2-0 away win against Athletic, followed by comfortable 2-0 and 4-0 home victories against Olympiacos and Atlético respectively.

 

• The Londoners have won 10 of their last 13 matches (1 draw and 2 defeats).
• A maximum of three goals has been scored in 6 of Arsenal’s last 7 matches in this European competition.
• Both teams scored in 5 of the Gunners’ last 6 away matches in this tournament.

Arsenal Predicted Lineup (4-3-3)

David Raya – Jurrien Timber, Gabriel Magalhães, William Saliba, Myles Lewis-Skelly – Kristoffer Nørgaard, Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze – Gabriel Martinelli, Viktor Gyökeres, Bukayo Saka.

Strikers Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke, and Gabriel Jesus, as well as midfielder Martin Ødegaard, are injured. Midfielder Martín Zubimendi is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Match Prediction: Slavia Prague vs Arsenal

The Czechs are formidable on their home turf and are certainly capable of causing problems for any opponent in the . However, Slavia’s impressive home record in this tournament is largely due to their performances in the qualification rounds. The last time the club played in the main stage of this European competition, they lost all three group stage matches. I believe Slavia will find it difficult to even secure a draw in this encounter.

Arsenal boasts an excellent defense, having kept clean sheets in all three matches of the current group stage. Furthermore, the Gunners have not allowed an opponent to score in their last 7 consecutive official matches. Their winning streak at the official level now stands at nine straight games. I anticipate the visitors are well capable of extending their clean sheet run.

My prediction is – “Slavia Prague Total Goals Under 0.5” with odds of 1.73.
