Slavia Prague take on the visitors Sheriff Tiraspol in the round 2 match of UEFA Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, October 5th at Fortuna Arena (Prague).
Slavia Prague remains one of the strongest clubs in the Czech Republic. The Patchwork team clearly stands out in terms of financing thanks to new investors. However, their sporting results don't always match their financial prowess. In the spring, the club once again settled for second place, losing out to their historical rival, Sparta Prague. In the new season, they are neck and neck with Sparta. Due to their status as Czech runners-up, Trpišovský's team initially started in the Europa League. They demonstrated their expertise against Ukrainian teams, eliminating Dnipro-1 and Zorya. Moreover, they managed to defeat Servette, even in the group stage, with a 2-0 victory in Switzerland.

The Yellow-Blacks consistently win domestic league titles, but their successes are mainly confined to the national level. Despite numerous attempts, they only managed to reach the group stage of the Champions League once in 2021, where they finished third. However, they faced more defeats in summer qualifiers. This season, after defeating Farul, the Wasps conceded to Maccabi in extra time in Haifa. However, their Europa League campaign was more straightforward and successful. They easily defeated BATE 5-1 at home and then overcame a strong Klaksvik team 2-1 in Tiraspol after a 1-1 draw away. However, they couldn't handle Roma, even on their home turf. Although the Wolves won by a narrow margin, 2-1, Lukaku scored the decisive goal only in the middle of the second half.
In 2009, the clubs played in the Champions League qualifiers. Both matches ended in draws, but in Tiraspol, it was 0-0, while in Prague, it was 1-1 (the visitors equalized in the 92nd minute and progressed). The Czechs will certainly remember the outcome of their previous match against the Moldovans and should not stop after scoring their first goal. Let's bet on the home team with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Slavia Prague to win with -1.0 handicap.
