What Is Scoring In Both Halves?

3y ago

Following their humbling league defeat at the hands of English champions Liverpool last Saturday, Arsenal will quickly turn their attention to business in Europe. They managed to book a spot in this stage of the competition after a narrow 3-2 aggregate victory over Olympiacos.

Meanwhile, Slavia Prague secured their own place in this quarter-final stage after a second leg victory over Scottish powerhouse Rangers in a match highlighted by controversy. Undoubtedly, they will travel to England in search of a favorable result to build on in the second leg.

Arsenal vs Slavia Prague Team News

Clearly rattled by bitter rivals Liverpool last time out, Arsenal were left in the dirt after a scintillating second-half display by their visitors. A Diogo-Jota-inspired-show saw Arsenal concede three goals in the second period. It could, and should have been more, if the Reds were as clinical as they have proven to be in recent years. Nevertheless, a 3-0 defeat was embarrassing enough for a team of Arsenal's stature.

This defeat would come after their return from the latest international break, a hiatus preceded by a two-match winless run in all competitions, including their 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Greek heavyweights Olympiacos in the second leg of their last-16 tie.

Troubled by inconsistency, Arsenal are currently languishing in 10th-place on the league table, a massive ten points adrift the top four. While the Europa League represents their most likely shot at continental football next season, the Gunners will be aware of how crucial this match is to their season ambitions.

Slavia Prague have pulled impressive results in Europe this campaign, and they will be buzzing to pick on an out-of-sorts Arsenal in this round of Europa League. They continue to challenge for the grand prize, and they seem to have the wind in their sails.

On a beautiful football night, albeit marred by controversy, the Czech giants secured a 2-0 victory in their second-leg contest with Scottish champions-elect Rangers. After playing out a 1-1 stalemate in the first leg, it was all to fight for in the return leg, and fight - in every sense of the word - they did.

Moment-defining goals from Slavia Prague's Peter Olayinka and Nicolae Stanciu went under the radar, after Rangers' Glen Kamara accused Slavia Prague's defender of racial abuse. However, The reds and whites will be hopeful that the dark moments of that match doesn't spill into this one.

In their last outing which came in the league, they were held to a goalless draw against relegation-threatened Brno. An inconsequential loss of points, as they remain at the top of the league table, holding a 14-point cushion at summit.

Injured or Suspended Players

Arsenal: No injuries or suspensions.
Slavia Prague: David Hovorka, Ibrahim Traore, Ondrej Kolar and Ondrej Kudela.

Arsenal vs Slavia Prague Predictions

One of the highlights in Arsenal's showing against Liverpool was how their defence crumbled under pressure. And for the 13th successive game in all competitions, the North London side failed to keep a clean sheet.

Slavia Prague, on the other hand, have kept their opponents at bay in each of their last four matches in all competitions. While they strive to remain unbeaten for the 23rd consecutive match in all competitions, the Gunners won't be such an easy nut to crack. We expect both sides to hit the target, with no less than two goals on the board.
