Another exciting encounter is expected as Slavia Prague and Feyenoord meet for the fourth time in the second leg of their Europa Conference League quarter-final tie. Both clubs have served up thrilling matches in their three meetings this season and Thursday’s clash is likely to follow a similar pattern.
It was an end-to-end affair in the first leg as Slavia Prague battled to a 3-3 draw in the Netherlands. They twice fought back from behind with Peter Olayinka, Yira Sor and Ibrahim Traore getting their goals.
Slavia Prague have been in good form lately and are unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions. They head into Thursday’s second leg off the back of a 4-0 victory over Pardubice in a Czech Liga fixture last Sunday.
That result points to Slavia Prague’s prolific attack as they have now scored seven goals in their last two matches. However, their defence remains shaky as they are without a clean sheet in their last seven Conference League matches.
Feyenoord will be disappointed not to have held on for the win in the first leg as they led twice in the contest. Luis Sinisterra opened the scoring early in first half while Marcos Sensi and Orkun Kokcu were also on target.
Like Slavia Prague, Feyenoord have also been in good form lately, suffering just one defeat in their last nine matches across all competitions. They warmed up for the trip to Prague with a 4-1 win at Heracles in an Eredivisie fixture last Sunday.
Another similarity with Slavia Prague is a lack of discipline at the back as Feyenoord also threw away the lead in a recent 3-3 draw with RKC Waalwijk in the Eredivisie. Arne Slot’s men have also failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight Conference League matches.
How the bookies view it
Feyenoord have the edge among the bookies at 6/4 with Unibet while a victory for Sparta Prague is valued at 9/5 with bet365. A draw is set at odds of 27/10 by SBK.
Head to head
There have been three previous meetings between Slavia Prague and Feyenoord this season with the Dutch side winning once while the other two fixtures have ended in draws.
Players to watch
Peter Olayinka has scored in his last three Conference League matches and will be the one to watch for Slavia Prague. The Nigerian striker has also scored in his last two meetings with Feyenoord and alongside Ivan Schranz, can ensure the Czechs score on Monday at 1/5 with Paddy Power.
Feyenoord have also shown their attacking quality in recent weeks with the likes of Luis Sinisterra, Bryan Linssen and Cyril Dessers among the goals lately. All three men can ensure the Dutch side get on the score sheet on Thursday at 1/6 with Paddy Power.
