Lille vs Slavia Prague Predictions

• Slavia Prague have only conceded twice in their last seven competitive games
• Four of the visitors’ last seven games have gone under 2.5 goals
• Lille only lost one of their 12 European games last season

Cagey affair likely

Lille scraped through to this qualifying round of the Champions League with a dramatic win over Fenerbahce with an 118th-minute winner and they face another tough challenge when they take on Slavia Prague in this final game before the group stages.

The Czech side beat Union Saint-Gilloise 4-1 on aggregate in the last round and were seriously eye-catching in Europe last season.

They topped their Europa League group with 15 points, finishing ahead of Roma, before they were knocked out by Milan in the round of 16.

The visitors were pipped to their domestic title by their rivals Sparta Prague and will be looking to make it into Europe’s top competition this term.

Slavia Prague have only conceded twice in their last seven competitive games and their performances in the Europa League last season show that they should not be underestimated.

Hosts could edge it

Four of the visitors’ last seven have gone under 2.5 goals and a repeat of that is fancied in what should be a cagey first leg given the stakes.

Lille may be able to edge a victory but don’t expect them to run away with it, correct score backers should side with a 1-0 win for the French side.
