Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Slavia Praha vs Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 17:45 GMT match.

• Fixture: Slavia Praha vs Arsenal

• Date: Tuesday, 04 November 2025

• Kick-off: 17:45 GMT

• Venue: Fortuna Arena

Slavia Praha will be looking to bounce back after a tough run of results. They've drawn twice and lost once in their recent matches, showing they can be solid but struggle to score. Arsenal, on the other hand, are in top form, smashing teams left and right with three straight wins. Expect Arsenal to dominate possession and create plenty of chances, but Slavia Praha might just nick a goal on the counter.

Slavia Praha will need to be disciplined and organised to keep Arsenal at bay. Their recent draws show they can hold their own against strong teams, but they'll need to be more clinical in front of goal. Arsenal's attacking trio of Saka, Gyökeres (If fit), and Martinelli will be a handful, and if Slavia Praha can't keep them quiet, it could be a long night. Still, a spirited performance from the home side could make this an interesting contest.

Slavia Praha have had a mixed bag recently, drawing twice and losing once. They've struggled to find the back of the net, which is a concern going into this match. However, their draws against Atalanta and Bodo/Glimt show they can be tough to break down. If they can tighten up at the back and be more ruthless up top, they might just cause Arsenal some problems.

• Draw: 0-0 vs Atalanta (A)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Inter (A)

• Draw: 2-2 vs Bodo/Glimt (H)

Arsenal are absolutely flying at the moment, with three wins on the trot and a goal difference to make you sit up and take notice. They've been scoring for fun and keeping clean sheets, which is a deadly combination. This kind of form will give them confidence going into this match. If they can keep their intensity high and their focus sharp, they should have too much for Slavia Praha.

• Win: 4-0 vs Atletico Madrid (H)

• Win: 2-0 vs Olympiakos Piraeus (H)

• Win: 2-0 vs Athletic Club (A)

Arsenal have had the upper hand in their recent meetings with Slavia Praha. In their last encounter, Arsenal thrashed Slavia Praha 4-0, while the previous match ended in a 1-1 draw. This head-to-head record suggests Arsenal will be confident going into this game, but Slavia Praha will be eager to prove they can compete with the Gunners.

• Predicted lineup: Markovic (GK), Vlcek (DF), Zima (DF), Boril (DF), Mbodji (DF), Moses (MF), Zafeiris (MF), Dorley (MF), Provod (MF), Kusej (MF), Chory (AT)

Slavia Praha's predicted lineup suggests a focus on defensive solidity with Vlcek, Zima, and Boril at the back. The midfield trio of Moses, Zafeiris, and Dorley will need to work hard to disrupt Arsenal's rhythm and provide support for the attack.

• Predicted lineup: Raya (GK), Timber (DF), Saliba (DF), Gabriel (DF), Lewis-Skelly (DF), Eze (MF), Trossard (MF), Rice (MF), Saka (AT), Trossard(AT), Martinelli (AT)

Arsenal's predicted lineup indicates a strong attacking threat with Saka, Gyökeres, and Martinelli up front. The midfield trio of Eze, Zubimendi, and Rice will be crucial in controlling the game and feeding the forwards.

• Chory vs Gabriel: This will be a key battle between Slavia Praha's striker and Arsenal's solid defender.

• Kusej vs Zubimendi (If fit): A midfield duel to watch, with Kusej looking to break up play and Zubimendi aiming to control the game.

• Zafeiris (Slavia Praha): Zafeiris is crucial for Slavia Praha, providing creativity and energy in midfield.

• Gyökeres (Arsenal) (If fit): Gyökeres is a key player for Arsenal, offering a potent goal threat up front.
