Back in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) competition proper, Slavia Prague and Lens have a lot to address in their quest for starting the 2026-27 League Phase with a win on matchday one. This match on Thursday between the ‘Red and Whites’ and the ‘Blood and Gold’ could be a tight affair, but can the sides manage to start positively?
Slavia are in their fourth Champions League proper and second in a row, although this is the tenth successive season in UEFA competitions. They finished 34th in the league phase with no wins (D3, L5), which leaves them with a lot to improve this time out.
Lens are in their second UCL campaign in four seasons and were third in the 2023-24 season when they finished with an even record (W2, D2, L2). The visitors boast of a great record in the group stage, having lost only two of their last nine UCL group stage fixtures (W4, D3). With both teams not boasting great history or form coming into this match, is there a dull affair in the offing? Read more for our analysis, team news, and match predictions.

Slavia Prague - Lens: Form Analysis
Slavia won 4-0 at home against Brno in the Chance Liga last weekend, keeping them unbeaten in all seven competitive fixtures this season (W5, D2). It’s their European record that’s of concern, as they are winless in their last 15 UEFA matches (D5, L10).
The hosts have also failed to win any of their eight UCL league phase games last season (D3, L5) and scored just five goals in that sequence. With five wins from their last six home competitive matches (W5, D1), they are perhaps in the best frame of form to change that record.
Lens have conceded at least two goals in five of their last seven away games.
The visitors are coming off a 1-0 home defeat to Lorient in Ligue 1 last weekend, their second loss in a row. These losses have taken the sting off starting the season with a 5-2 home win over Auxerre.
Lens usually start well in Europe, drawing on matchday one of their last four UEFA campaigns. That said, away form is still a concern, as Lens have failed to win any of their last 13 away games in Europe (D5, L8).

Slavia Prague & Lens Squad Analysis
Slavia are without a number of key players for this match. Ondrej Kolar, Jindrich Stanek, and Igoh Ogbu are out of contention. There are question marks around Ange N’Guessan, Lukas Provod, David Zima, and Mubarak Suleiman.
Provod’s absence could be crucial as he led the club in assists and open-play chances created in last season’s UCL. Their 3-4-2-1 system will now be led by forward Tomas Chory, who is coming off three goals in his last two games!
Mojmir Chytil has four goals for Slavia this season.
Lens also have a lengthy absence list, with Jonathan Gradit, Jhoanner Chavez, Nidal Celik, Samson Baidoo and Maik Nawrocki unavailable due to injuries. Saud Abdulhamid and Yacine Titraoui are among those who are doubtful.
Their 3-4-2-1 formation could be supported by Florian Thauvin on the right wing, just behind the striker Odsonne Edouard. Thauvin could be crucial for Lens’ hopes, as he netted four goals and has one assist from their last four games.
Slavia Prague - Lens Key Points
- Slavia conceded in eight of their last ten UCL matches.
- Lens conceded goals in six of their last seven matches.
- Four of Lens’ last six UCL matches have returned BTTS.
- Four of Slavia’s last six home competitive games have seen both teams score.

Our Slavia Prague vs Lens Prediction
Lens are back in the UCL competition after a three-season gap, but their recent form hasn’t been comforting, as they return to this tournament for the fourth in their history. Slavia are playing their second consecutive UCL edition but have struggled with no wins in this tournament since winning their opening game in the competition proper in 2007.
Both teams have struggled defensively, and while Slavia have a strong domestic form that they look to translate to Europe, Lens could surprise their visitors with at least a goal. Our Slavia Prague vs Lens prediction is BTTS.
Slavia Prague vs Lens Alternative Predictions
Slavia Prague wins
Lens have lost their last two games coming into this fixture, while Slavia have five wins from their last six home games in all competitions. They may have struggled in the competition, but this could be their chance to end their long-standing drought in the UCL.
Florian Thauvin to Score Anytime
Florian Thauvin scored four goals in his last four competitive games and will hope to be on the scoresheet once again in this fixture. Back Thauvin to score.
