Why there is no match favourite
The bookmakers offer balanced odds on either team to win: Slavia Prague are available at 2.55, Lens at 2.65, and the draw at 3.55.
• Both teams are only beginning the league phase, so their early table positions do not yet reflect their true form.
• Slavia are playing at home and may hold an advantage, but Lens compete in a more competitive league.
Form and Line-up Slavia Prague
In a recent domestic-league match against Zbrojovka, the Prague side extended their lead in the second half through impactful substitutes: forward Emmanuel Aiyosi and defender David Jurasek came off the bench and scored. In addition, Oskar Kubiak made his first start for the club, while forward Tomas Chory has found match fitness, scoring three goals in the opening four rounds.
Key numbers:
• In 9 of their last 10 home Champions League matches, Slavia Prague committed at least 11 fouls.
• In 8 of their last 10 home Champions League matches, Slavia Prague registered at least 12 shots, including blocked efforts.
• In 9 of their last 10 home Champions League matches, Slavia Prague's opponents were caught offside no more than twice.
Probable Slavia Prague line-up (3-4-2-1): Jakub Markovic – Tomas Holes, David Zima, Stepan Chaloupek – Samuel Isife, Viktor Novak, Michal Sadilek, Mubarak Suleiman – Lukas Provod, Daniel Sturm – Tomas Chory
Absentees: David Zima (doubtful)
Form and Line-up Lens
In their previous Ligue 1 match, Lens lost 0:1 at home to Lorient, conceding the only goal in the second half. It was the first match of the season in which the Blood and Gold failed to score. The French runners-up came up against a compact defensive block and struggled for accuracy in the final third: 1.24 xG from 17 shots. Dino Toppmoller rotated his side, starting Ruben Aguilar, Amadou Haidara and Thorgan Hazard for the first time this season.
Key numbers:
• At least three yellow cards were shown in 9 of Lens's last 10 away matches in all competitions.
