Prediction Slavia Praha vs Arsenal 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for the Champions League on 04/11/2025

Match outlook: Slavia Praha look to upset rampant Arsenal at Fortuna Arena

Slavia Praha welcome Arsenal to Fortuna Arena in Praha on 04/11/2025 with very different trajectories. The Czech side arrive with encouraging domestic momentum — a 2-0 win over Baník Ostrava and a 4-0 rout of Zlín in recent days — yet their Champions League ledger reads two draws and a loss from three group games, just two points and a porous return of two goals scored and five conceded. The home crowd of 19,370 will hope the familiar turf and recent positive domestic form can lift Slavia, but facts from the continental stage are hard to ignore: clean sheets have been rare and the group campaign has been stubbornly difficult.

Arsenal, by contrast, arrive in Prague in imperious nick. A sequence of five straight domestic wins followed by four more victories across league and European fixtures has turned heads: in the group stage they boast three wins from three, eight goals scored and none conceded. Across recent games their form line reads overwhelmingly positive — nine wins and a draw in the latest ten — and Declan Rice was singled out as the best performer in Arsenal’s last outing away at Burnley. Statistically Arsenal lead on almost every front: more shots, a higher share of dangerous attacks and three group clean sheets already on the board.

Tactical reading and historic context

This fixture carries a reminder from the past: the most recent European meeting between these clubs ended emphatically in Arsenal’s favor with a 4-0 win. That result, from the 2021 Europa League quarter-finals, may not dictate 2025 outcomes, but it underlines a psychological edge. Slavia’s group stats show they create a fair number of attempts in the final third, yet their conversion and defensive stability have been suspect at this level. Arsenal’s disciplined defensive numbers and a ruthless edge in front of goal in the group stage make them heavy favorites — reflected in bookmaker pricing that gives an away win roughly a 78% implied probability.
