Slavia Prague vs Fenerbahce Predictions and Betting

Slavia Prague and Fenerbahce square off in a UEFA Europa League clash on Thursday, with both teams struggling to find their best form in the competition. Neither side has looked solid, making this match likely to produce goals.

Slavia Prague have struggled in the Europa League with their campaign seemingly in a downward spiral. Since beating Ludogorets 2-0 in their opening match, they have failed to pick up a win and have suffered consecutive 1-0 defeats to Athletic Bilbao and Eintracht Frankfurt.

The good news for Slavia Prague is that they have shown some quality in other competitions, triumphing 4-0 over Ceske Budejovice last weekend in the Czech First League. However, they have struggled defensively and have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last five games.

Fenerbahce have a similar campaign to Slavia Prague, with just one win in the competition. However, Jose Mourinho’s men have lost just once, going down 3-1 at AZ Alkmaar in their previous game.

The Turks will still travel to Prague with confidence after picking up four wins in their last five matches. But like the hosts, they have been shaky at the back, conceding in each of their four Europa League games.

This is how the bookies see it: Slavia with the edge

Slavia Prague have the edge among the bookmakers and are priced at 7/5 by Betfred to claim victory. A win for Fenerbahce is rated at 11/5, while Betfred also offers odds of 21/10 for a draw.

Head to head: The Czechs have the edge

Slavia Prague and Fenerbahce faced each other in the 2022 Conference League, with the Czechs doing the double over their rivals. They won 3-2 in both games.

Players to watch: Chory to star

Tomas Chory scored in Slavia Prague’s only Europa League home game and could be worth keeping an eye on. The striker also has three goals in his last five games for the hosts and is priced at 12/5 by Betfred to find the net again.

Youssef En-Nesyri has caught the eye of Fenerbahce of late, scoring in five of the last eight games. The striker is priced at 13/5 by Betfred to get on the scoresheet on Thursday.

Probable lineups

Slavia Prague do not have too many injury problems and can name a strong team on Thursday. Chytil should start in attack alongside Tomas Chory, while Igoh Ogbu will play in defence.

Cengiz Under, Caglar Soyuncu and Allan Saint-Maximin are all out for Fenerbahce and will miss the trip to Prague. En-Nesyri could be given the nod ahead of Edin Dzeko, while Oguz Aydin should also feature in the attack.

Slavia Prague: Kinsky, Holes, Ogbu, Zima, Doudera, Zaferis, Dorley, Diouf, Chytil, Provod, Chory
Fenerbahçe: Livakovic, Osayi-Samuel, Akaydin, Djiku, Kostic, Amrabat, Fred, Tadic, Yandas, Aydin, En-Nesyri
