Slavia Prague started its way in European cups from the 3rd round of the Champions League qualification. However, the Czechs were unexpectedly stopped by the Hungarian Ferencváros (0-2 and 1-0) and went to the Europa League qualifiers. On August 22, Slavia Prague dealt with Banik Ostrava in the Czech championship match without any particular efforts (4-0). Stanislav Tecl, Daniel Samek, Ondřej Lingr, and Ondřej Kudela scored for the Red and Whites (the latter converted the penalty). This home victory turned out to be the 4th in a row in the Czech championship. In terms of points lost, Slavia Prague is on a par with the leader of the tournament, Viktoria Plzen, which played one more match.
The draw in Prague did not highlight a clear favorite in this pair, but Legia will have a slight psychological advantage. Showing not the brightest game, the Legionaries did not lose away and received additional days of rest, which will have a beneficial effect on the freshness of the leaders. Given the scenario of the first leg, the teams are likely to upset each other again. Both opponents have noticeable staffing problems, which will affect the team's actions in defense.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
