Slavia Prague vs Lens Predictions

• Lens have drawn their last four opening fixtures of a European campaign
• The visitors’ Florian Thauvin has four goals already this season
• Both teams have scored in three of Slavia Prague’s last four home matches

Stalemate on the cards in Prague

Slavia Prague have suffered a similar issue to many teams of their stature in recent times, dominating domestically but struggling on the biggest international stage.

The Czech side won the league by eight points last season and are unbeaten this term but have gone 17 games without a win in the Champions League.

Jindrich Trpisovsky’s men picked up just three points in last season’s league phase campaign and will be desperate to improve upon that showing this time around.

They start this season’s campaign with a clash against Lens, who have started the Ligue 1 season in disappointing fashion after beating Paris Saint-Germain in the Trophee des Champions.

Since that result, the Blood and Gold have picked up just three points from their three league matches after back-to-back defeats to Strasbourg and Lorient.

The visitors also have a poor record on their travels in European competition, failing to win any of their last 13 road trips.

With both teams struggling in continental competition, the draw looks a tempting option in this clash, particularly as Lens have played out a stalemate in the first game of their last four European campaigns.

Both teams have scored in three of Slavia Prague’s four home matches this term and a 1-1 share of the spoils is the correct score selection.
