Our predictions for Tottenham vs Slavia Praha
Match Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Slavia Praha
Tottenham, coming off a mixed bag of results, will look to leverage their home advantage against Slavia Praha. With a strong win against FC Copenhagen and a solid performance against Villarreal at home, they'll aim to dominate possession and create scoring opportunities through their attacking duo of Richarlison and Kolo Muani. However, their recent loss to Paris Saint Germain might make them cautious, especially against a Slavia Praha side that has shown resilience in drawing against strong teams like Athletic Club and Atalanta.
Slavia Praha will be looking to exploit any defensive lapses from Tottenham, who have shown vulnerability in their recent loss. Their recent results suggest a team that struggles to score but can hold their own defensively, as seen in their draws against Athletic Club and Atalanta. This match could be tight, with Slavia Praha aiming to frustrate Tottenham and perhaps snatch a goal on the counter.
Tottenham's recent form has been a rollercoaster, with a heavy loss to Paris Saint Germain preceded by a convincing win against FC Copenhagen. Their ability to secure clean sheets against Villarreal at home and Monaco away shows resilience and potential for a strong performance. However, their unpredictability indicates a need for more consistency, which could impact their confidence going into this match.

Tottenham (5-3-2)
Predicted lineup: Vicario (GK), Porro (DF), van de Ven (DF), Romero (DF), Gray (DF), Spence (DF), Sarr (MF), Bentancur (MF), Bergvall (MF), Richarlison (AT), Kolo Muani (AT)
Tottenham are expected to line up in a 5-3-2 formation, with Vicario in goal and a backline of Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Gray, and Spence. This setup should allow Bentancur and Sarr to control the midfield, while Bergvall will provide support to the attacking duo of Richarlison and Kolo Muani, aiming to exploit spaces and create scoring opportunities.
Slavia Praha are predicted to use a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Stanek as the goalkeeper and a defence consisting of Zima, Chaloupek, Moses, and Mbodji. In midfield, Sadilek and Zafeiris will provide the base, while Doudera, Provod, and Sanyang will look to create chances for the lone striker Chory, focusing on quick transitions and counter-attacks.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
Randal Kolo Muani vs David Zima: Kolo Muani's pace and finishing will be tested against Zima's defensive solidity.
Rodrigo Bentancur vs Lukas Provod: Bentancur's control in midfield will be crucial against Provod's versatility and work rate.
Pape Matar Sarr (Tottenham): Sarr's ability to link midfield and attack will be vital for Tottenham's offensive strategy.
Michal Sadilek (Slavia Praha): Sadilek's role in breaking up play and distributing the ball will be key for Slavia Praha's midfield.
