After delivering another winner on Saturday, SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of Slavia Prague’s Champions league clash with Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday night.
Slavia Prague vs Athletic Bilbao (Tuesday, 20:00)
Seeking to secure what would be a maiden victory in this season’s Champions League, Slavia Prague will welcome Athletic Bilbao to the Fortuna Arena on Tuesday night.
The hosts have picked up just two points from their opening four league phase matches, while the visitors are just one point better off having posted one win and three losses to date.
I’ve already penned an in-depth match preview ahead of this clash in the Czech capital but I’m going to take this opportunity to go into more detail in regards to one of the three recommended selections outlined.
As already mentioned in the above-linked preview, Youssoupha Mbodji is an eye-catching price to attempt a minimum of one shot during this contest.
The Slavia Prague left-back has been a standout performer for the hosts across the opening four rounds of Champions League action.
In fact, Mbodji is the only Slavia Prague player to have scored a goal in Europe’s premier club competition this season, bagging a brace against Bodo/Glimt back on matchday one.
The 21-year-old has since started against both Atalanta and Arsenal, attempting multiple efforts on goal in each of those contests.
With that in mind, backing Mbodji to deliver just one shot or more on Tuesday night is an appealing prospect at a value 5/6 on bet365.
Athletic Bilbao boss Ernesto Valverde is renowned for his pragmatism and safety-first preferences, and that adds further weight to siding with this particular player-based selection in Prague
If you fancy taking it one step further, then Mbodji is as big as 4/1 on bet365 to try his luck twice or more on Tuesday night – a bet that would have paid out in each of the three matches that he started in this season’s Champions League.
