Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Slavia Praha vs Athletic Club in the UEFA Champions League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 20:00 GMT match.

• Fixture: Slavia Praha vs Athletic Club
• Date: Tuesday, 25 November 2025
• Kick-off: 20:00 GMT
• Venue: Fortuna Arena

Slavia Praha might come into this match with a bit of a chip on their shoulder after a couple of tough losses at home. Their recent form shows they've struggled to find the back of the net, drawing blanks against Arsenal and Inter, but they've shown they can hold their own away from home with a solid draw against Atalanta. They'll need to be more clinical in front of goal if they want to get anything out of this game, and their attacking trio of Provod, Chory (If fit), and Sanyang will be crucial.

Athletic Club, on the other hand, have had a mixed bag of results lately. They managed a convincing win against Qarabag at home, but their away form has been less than stellar, with losses to Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund. Their midfield duo of De Galarreta and Jauregizar will need to control the game if they're to come away with a result. It's going to be a tight affair, but Athletic Club's experience in European competitions might just give them the edge.

Slavia Praha's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with two home losses and two away draws. They've struggled to score, managing only two goals in their last four games, which is a concern heading into this match. However, their defensive solidity away from home, as shown in the draw against Atalanta, could be a positive sign. If they can tighten up at the back and find a way to be more effective in attack, they might just pull off a surprise result.

Recent UEFA Champions League Results:

• Loss: 0-3 vs Arsenal (H)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Atalanta (A)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Inter (A)

• Draw: 2-2 vs Bodo/Glimt (H)

Athletic Club have shown they can be a force to be reckoned with at home, as evidenced by their win against Qarabag. However, their away form has been a weak point, with losses to Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund. Their midfield has been a bright spot, with Rego and Jauregizar pulling the strings, but they'll need to be more consistent if they want to secure a win here. If they can replicate their home form on the road, they should have the upper hand.

Recent UEFA Champions League Results:

• Loss: 0-2 vs Newcastle (A)
• Win: 3-1 vs Qarabag (H)
• Loss: 1-4 vs Borussia Dortmund (A)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Arsenal (H)

The head-to-head record between these two teams is limited to a single encounter, with Athletic Club coming out on top with a 1-0 victory over Slavia Praha in their last meeting on 24 October 2024 in the UEFA Europa League. This result gives Athletic Club a slight psychological edge going into this match, but it's a small sample size, and anything can happen in football. Both teams will be looking to make their mark in this fixture and secure a positive result.

Slavia Praha's predicted lineup suggests a focus on maintaining a solid defensive structure with Vlcek, Chaloupek, and Zima at the back, while relying on the creativity of Moses and Zafeiris in midfield to unlock Athletic Club's defence.
