Tottenham vs Slavia Prague prediction: EUROPE: Champions League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-12-08 20:00.
[p]Tottenham are out to maintain their top-16 league phase position when they host winless Slavia Prague on matchday six of the UEFA Champions League (UCL).[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Nobody would have been more relieved with Tottenham’s 2-0 weekend win over Brentford than Spurs boss Thomas Frank, who silenced his critics with the club’s first win in six competitive matches (D2, L3). That winless run included a dramatic 5-3 loss away to defending UCL champions PSG on matchday five, putting the Londoners on the verge of losing back-to-back games in a major European tournament for the first time since March 2020. Spurs’ imperious home form in continental football suggests they can avoid falling to that unwanted feat here, as they haven’t tasted defeat in any of their last 13 such matches (W9, D4). [/p]
[p]For a Slavia side who finished 30th in the league phase of last season’s UEFA Europa League, the step up to the UCL was always likely to be tough. Slavia have justified their status as the sole Czech representative in Europe’s premier competition by dominating the Czech First League with five consecutive wins, but they’re well down the UCL league phase table with a mere three points from five matches (D3, L2). They’re on a 12-game winless run in major UEFA competitions (D5, L7) and, without a single goal scored in their last four UCL matches, it’s hard to see how they can turn the tide here. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Tottenham are unbeaten across the last four H2Hs (W3, D1), while Slavia have never defeated an English team in the UCL (D1, L2), winning only two of their last 16 such games across all UEFA tournaments (D4, L10). [/p]
