Chelsea vs Slavia Prague Prediction & Betting tips
On Thursday’s own Stamford Bridge, Chelsea hopes to qualify for the Europa League semi-finals at the expense of Slavia Prague on Thursday evening. The English defend a 0-1 lead from the first leg, but the Czechs are not giving up the fight yet.
Chelsea:
In the battle for qualification for the Champions League, Chelsea has two more irons in the fire. In its own Premier League, the club from London, after the 2-0 defeat of last weekend visiting Liverpool, no longer holds a top four ranking in its own hands. However, by winning the Europa League, The Blues could still win a starting ticket for the European million-dollar ball. However, in the quarterfinals, Slavia Prague will first have to be dealt with.
Chelsea is already standing with one leg in the semi-final of the Europa League, because last week’s first game resulted in a 0-1 victory thanks to a late goal from Marcos Alonso. However, coach Maurizio Sarri is not yet confident, and will also kick off a strong starting eleven in the return to his own Stamford Bridge. Chelsea is still undefeated this season in the Europa League and only had to allow one goal in its five European home games. Those are fine figures, although the English cannot have the solid German defender Antonio RĂ¼diger on Thursday evening. With Gary Cahill and David Luiz, however, Sarri has some experienced substitutes.
Slavia Prague:
Slavia Prague played a creditable match last week and managed to get Chelsea closing post Kepa Arrizabalaga to work well a few times. The Czech frontrunner actually deserved a draw in the first leg, but Marcos Alonso put a stop to it just before time.
Slavia Prague now has to win at Stamford Bridge anyway to achieve its first semifinal place in a major European tournament since 1995. A tough job, although the red and white are also a life-threatening opponent in European away matches. Visiting Racing Genk (1-4) in the sixteenth finals, the team of coach Jindrich Trpisovsky was no less than four times accurate, and also in the eighth finals visiting Sevilla in the Sanchez Pizjuan (2-2) upright. This diptych has certainly not been decided yet, although Miroslav Stoch and Tomas Soucek in particular will have to play a top game. The duo are good for 22 league goals this season.
