Slavia Prague

Slavia suffered 0-1 defeats in their last two Europa League matches, both away against strong opponents – Athletic and Eintracht. In the earlier group stage matches, Slavia earned 4 points by defeating Ludogorets (2-0) and drawing with Ajax (1-1), which places them in the playoff zone of the Europa League standings at 23rd place. Notably, Slavia is among the three clubs in the current main stage, along with Union and Roma, with the lowest average number of goals scored in their matches, averaging 1.5 per game.

• The team has failed to win 5 out of their last 6 Europa League matches (1 draw, 4 losses).
• Slavia has kept clean sheets in 5 out of their last 7 home matches in the second most prestigious European club tournament (1 draw, 1 loss).
• The club has scored at least twice in 6 of their last 8 home Europa League matches.

Fenerbahce

The Turkish side suffered their first defeat in the current main stage (1 win, 2 draws), losing away to AZ Alkmaar 1-3 in the last round. However, Fenerbahce extended their scoring streak in the Europa League to 5 matches. It's worth noting that they have also conceded in all group stage matches, with a negative goal difference of 5:6. In the Europa League standings, Fenerbahce is 21st, just one point ahead of their upcoming opponent.

• The club has not lost in 15 of their last 17 Europa League matches (9 wins, 6 draws).
• Fenerbahce has not scored more than 1 goal in 5 of their last 6 matches in this tournament.
• Away from home, the team has not lost in 6 of their last 8 Europa League matches, securing 3 wins.

Slavia Prague vs. Fenerbahce: Match Prediction

Slavia was unfortunate in their last two Europa League matches, which they managed to lose despite having the upper hand and creating more scoring opportunities than their opponents. Both matches were played away, and I am confident that on their home turf, Slavia should prevail. Therefore, I agree with the bookmakers who favor the hosts for the upcoming match. At home, the club from the Czech capital has performed strongly, winning with clean sheets in 5 of their last 7 Europa League matches.

Turkish teams traditionally perform worse away from home, lacking the support of their local fans. Fenerbahce has not won in their last 3 away matches in the second most prestigious European tournament (1 draw, 2 losses), conceding in all of them. The head-to-head statistics against Slavia are also not in favor of the visitors. The upcoming opponents met in the Europa Conference League in 2022, with Slavia winning both encounters 3-2.

I believe the Czech team will be closer to success this time as well. My prediction: Slavia Prague with a handicap (0)
