by Daniel Ngulu | in Champions League Predictions
Slavia Prague and Athletic Bilbao will set up their first-ever meeting in the Champions League on matchday five. The two sides meet on Tuesday, both looking to rise into the playoff positions after a tough start to the league stage. At the Fortuna Arena, Slavia Prague will be hosting this match, and below is our prediction.
The only previous meeting between these two sides was in the Europa League last season. That encounter ended 1-0 in favor of the then home team, Athletic. Hosts Slavia Prague are hereby not only seeking revenge but also a first win in 16 matches in the Champions League proper.
Athletic Bilbao haven't had a great start to their campaign in Europe either. They will be looking to tap into their hosts’ struggles, and history favors them. The Spaniards won their last two meetings against Czech opponents. Getting into this round of matches, Slavia Prague are 30th in the standings and Athletic 27th.

Slavia Prague - Athletic Bilbao: Form Analysis
Slavia Prague are targeting their first win in the competition proper. They have two points from the opening four matches, the latest of which was a 3-0 home defeat by Arsenal.
Slavia have a lot written riding against them in this fixture, but they’ll hope to cope. Firstly, they are winless in 15 matches in the Champions League proper.
They have two wins only in the last 15 meetings with Spanish teams. After their loss to Arsenal, Slavia went on to win back-to-back matches, the latest a 3-1 victory. Even at the hosts’ high points, their defensive woes have mostly been glaring.
Slavia Prague have conceded seven times in the last three matches.
Athletic Bilbao aren’t the best to bank defensively either. The Spaniards are coming fresh off a 4-0 loss to Barcelona at Camp Nou.
That was their fourth defeat in five matches, and one of the losses was in the Champions League, a 2-0 reverse at Newcastle United. A poor scoring run will be another issue for Ernesto Valverde to deal with.
The visitors haven't scored in three of their last four matches. Things are worse on the road for Athletic, failing to win any of their last seven. In that run they drew once and lost the rest.

Slavia Prague & Athletic Bilbao Squad Analysis
Slavia’s Lukas Provod comes into this game on a high, after his two goal contributions over the weekend. He scored one and set up another in a 3-1 win against Bohemians.
That took his G/A to three in the last two matches and 11 in total for the season at club level. In a match that Slavia needs all their arsenal available, Oscar Dorley will be a big miss.
He is set to sit out a third straight match as he nurses a muscle injury. Dorley is joined on the sidelines by Petr Sevcik, who has a knee injury.
Athletic skipper Inaki Williams remains highly unlikely to feature here.
Athletic will once again go into a game without skipper Inaki Williams. The Ghanaian international has been out since October, nursing a groin injury.
In his absence Oihan Sancet will be expected to rise to the occasion after a slow start to the season, marred with injury and suspension. In 2014/25, he had 20 goal involvements for Athletic.
Sancet was sent off in the Barcelona defeat, but that doesn’t apply here, so he should be getting a start.

Our Slavia Prague vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction
These two sides have been poor in Europe, and we could see this run extend into their Tuesday match. Slavia Prague are winless in 13 of their last 15 matches against Spanish sides, drawing six times. They haven't won a match in Europe in the last 11 outings and in 15 in the Champions League.
Meanwhile, Athletic are without a win in their last seven matches on the road. That and the key injuries they are dealing with will really affect their chances here. With both sides struggling in Europe, our prediction for Slavia Prague v Athletic Club is for a draw.

Over 2.5 goals
Slavia Prague’s opening four matches have had an average of 2.5 goals, though the Czechs have only scored twice. Meanwhile, 13 goals have flown in in Athletic Bilbao’s matches, as the Spaniards conceded nine.
These two aren’t at their best defensively in Europe, and we expect a lot of goalmouth action here. Our second prediction is for over 2.5 goals.
