Slavia Praha Form
Tottenham face Slavia Praha on 9th December at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for an exciting Champions League night. Both sides are running out of road in the group, setting the stage for a tense and intriguing clash. Spurs sit in a stronger position, but Slavia Praha still have something to fight for, and that usually leads to a cagey, competitive affair. So, here’s a deep dive into our Tottenham vs Slavia Praha prediction.
Tottenham come into this one with a mixed update on the squad. Dominic Solanke and James Maddison remain sidelined, which naturally affects Spurs’ attacking flow and creativity. The encouraging news is that Dejan Kulusevski and Yves Bissouma could return, adding much-needed energy and control in midfield. Even better for the hosts, Brennan Johnson is available again after suspension, giving them another direct threat in wide areas or behind the striker.
Slavia Praha also have their own concerns. Dominik Javorcek, Filip Horsky, and Petr Sevcik might miss out, leaving the visitors with gaps to fill in key zones. The bright spot, though, is the likely availability of Oscar Dorley, who should strengthen their midfield stability and link play. Slavia haven’t found their attacking rhythm in Europe this season, so depth is a real factor here.
Guglielmo Vicario; Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero (c), Micky van de Ven, Djed Spence; Rodrigo Bentancur, Archie Gray, Pape Sarr; Lucas Bergvall, Richarlison, Randal Kolo Muani.
(Sub options: Kinsky, Austin, Danso, Palhinha, Xavi Simons, Destiny Udogie, Mohammed Kudus, Odobert, Davies, Scarlett, Thompson, Williams-Barnett)
Jindřich Staněk; David Moses, David Zima, Simon Chaloupek, Yira Mbodji; Michal Sadilek, Christos Zafeiris, David Doudera; Lukas Provod (c), Yira Sanyang, Tomas Chory.
(Sub options: Markovic, Holes, Ogbu, Saracevic, Hashioka, Kusej, Chytil, Boril, Vlcek, Toula, Prekop, Jelinek)
Tottenham have been strong at home in this campaign, winning both of their Champions League fixtures at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. They tend to play with more confidence and intensity in front of their own fans, and that has reflected in the group standings. Scoring goals hasn’t been an issue either, with Spurs averaging two per match so far.
Slavia Praha, meanwhile, have struggled to convert chances, managing just two goals in five games. Their record on the road isn’t encouraging either. They have only one win in the entire group stage and have found it difficult to keep matches under control away from home.
So if you’re thinking about how this match might unfold, Tottenham look far more likely to dictate the tempo, pin the visitors back, and generate sustained pressure.
A clean sheet angle also makes sense. Spurs have kept both of their home European games tight at the back, and Slavia’s attacking output has been minimal. When a team scores rarely and faces one of the better defensive home sides in the group, the pattern usually leans towards a firm home performance.
Here’s what I think: this is set up for Tottenham to take control early and maintain it. Without Solanke and Maddison, the hosts may not be at their most fluid, but the returning faces and depth from the bench should give them enough variation to break through Slavia’s shape. Slavia will likely sit deep and try to frustrate, but their low scoring record makes a comeback scenario hard to imagine.
Prediction: Tottenham to win with a solid margin, likely without conceding.
Match Prediction: Tottenham to win. Bet with bet365.
Tottenham average two goals per match in the group, and Slavia Praha have conceded eight so far. Spurs can hit higher gears, especially at home, and this fixture looks like one where they could genuinely stretch the scoreline.
Correct Score Lean: Tottenham 2–0 or Tottenham 3–0.
If Spurs find early momentum, a wider scoreline like 4–0 isn’t unrealistic given their previous big win in the competition.
Correct Score Prediction: Tottenham 3–0 Slavia Praha. Bet with bet365.
With the history between these sides showing three of four past meetings finishing under 2.5 goals, you might think this is a low-scoring fixture. But Spurs’ recent Champions League form and Slavia’s defensive dips tell a different story.
A Spurs-dominant match with over 2.5 goals looks slightly more likely, mainly due to Tottenham’s scoring patterns. However, if Slavia succeed in slowing the tempo, the scoreline could lean under again. The safest read: Tottenham-heavy scoring potential, Slavia limited.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
A realistic combo for this matchup:
This mirrors the matchup dynamic and both teams’ form in the group.
Bet Builder Tip: Tottenham to win to nil and Randal Muani to score anytime. Bet with bet365.
