Slavia Prague vs FC Copenhagen
UEFA Europa League
Date: Thursday, 8th November 2018
Kick-off at 20.00 UK/ 21.00 CET
Venue: Eden Arena, Prague.
Slavia Prague, hosts FC Copenhagen at the Eden Arena in this fourth matchday fixture of the Europa League, to determine the representation of Group C in the knockouts of the competition.
The team from Prague is currently in second place with six points so far from their three matches. They have won two of their matches while losing one. But they have managed to score only two goals from their three matches and has conceded one.
Copenhagen is on the third spot with four points from their three matches. Their campaign was pretty consistent with all types of results – one win, one draw, and one loss. Their goal difference is zero, with three goals scored and three conceded.
Slavia Prague will be impressed with themselves after avoiding defeat in their derby with Sparta Prague. A three-goal first-half and another goal in the second half saw both teams sharing the spoils with a 2-2 scoreline.
Copenhagen will be having their morale sky high, after securing an away win in the second minute of injury time against Brondby. Wind J was the hero for the visitors.
The hosts seem pretty comfortable to win this match. Slavia Prague won the reverse fixture, on the road, with a scoreline of 0-1. Slavia needs to win this match at any cost to keep their chances to progress to the next stage on the positive side. Zenit takes on Bordeaux in the other match in Group C and is expected to easily win.
Slavia is already trailing by a point behind Zenit, and to ensure at least the second spot they cannot afford any complacency.
Slavia has allowed just one goal past them in three Europa League matches, two of which were away fixtures. Expect them to keep another clean sheet.
The home team will win this match in all probability.
