Welcome to our Slavia Praha vs Arsenal betting tips, prediction and odds analysis ahead of their UEFA Europa League quarter-final second leg clash at the Eden Arena in the Czech Republic on Thursday.
The pressure will be on Arsenal as the Gunners more or less have to secure a high-scoring away draw or away win to win the tie and progress to the semi-finals of the competition.

Anytime goal scorers
Slavia Prague- Tomáš Holeš- This is a player in good form, having scored two goals in his last two games. Arsenal need to be very weary of him.
Arsenal- Alexander Lacazette- The Frenchman is the Gunners most confident scorer right now and needs to be in good form if Arsenal are to stand a chance in this game.
Our Odds And Tips In Detail
Arsenal may struggle to cope with the pressure and struggle to play fluidly against Slavia away. I expect Slavia to win this game 2-0.
