Slavia Praha and Dinamo Kiev meet at Eden Aréna, in a match for this phase of the UEFA Champions League (3rd Qualifying Round). There is only record of 1 recent direct match between these two teams, on 05-02-2016, which ended with the victory of Slavia Praha by (1-2). In this game the home factor can be decisive, as Dinamo Kiev presents considerable differences in their results at home and as a visitor.

Slavia Praga:

The home team plays its first match in this edition of the UEFA Champions League with the intention of taking advantage of the home advantage to achieve a positive result. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches he has 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses as a visitor; against 10 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses at their stadium.

Their attack has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches.

Slavia Prague is a club that has never managed to win a continental title, but has been Czech League champion four times throughout its history, being the most recent title conquered in 2016/17. Last season, the team finished the national championship in second place, far from the champion Viktoria Plzen, qualifying for this preliminary phase of the Champions League. In the last five games that Slavia Praga played in their stadium, in three they suffered goals. We believe that in this match Slavia Praga, although playing at home, where he is much stronger, will end up suffering a goal from his opponent, who plays a more competitive national championship and even when playing away from home is able to score goals .
