Slavia Prague x Arsenal FC
REF’s picks
Arsenal enter this Champions League clash in fine defensive form and with superior quality across the pitch, making them a solid pick to take all three points against a depleted Slavia Prague. The Gunners recently shut out Liverpool and boast a midfield capable of controlling the tempo entirely away from home. However, Prague have shown resilience in patches and Mikel Arteta's side could find it tricky to break down a deep defensive block if the hosts' substitutes manage to disrupt the rhythm late on.
- 1Arsenal's recent defensive solidity, highlighted by a clean sheet against Liverpool, gives them a strong foundation.
- 2Slavia Prague are missing several key defensive starters, including captain Jan Bořil and Tomáš Holeš.
- 3Arsenal have notable squad absentees of their own, such as Martin Ødegaard and Gabriel Jesus, which could limit their fluidity in attack.
