Slavia Prague Preview – Can the hosts make it back-to-back European victories?
Slavia Prague were level with Hapoel Beer Sheva with just four minutes to go in their opening Europa League match. However, the Czech Republic side crumbled in the last few minutes, conceding two late goals to leave Israel with a gut-wrenching 3-1 defeat.
However, they more than made up for it on matchday two, shocking Bayer Leverkusen at the Sinobo Stadium. The German side, who walloped Nice 6-2 in their opener, are one of the Europa League favourites this season. Nonetheless, Peter Olayinka’s goal ten minutes from time gave Prague a memorable 1-0 win.
After last Thursday’s stunning success over Leverkusen, Jindrich Trpisovsky’s side would love to follow that up with another European win at the Sinobo Stadium this week. At the time of writing, the Red and Whites are available at 7/5 to pick up all three points.
Nice Preview – French side to stretch unbeaten run to four?
French Ligue 1 outfit Nice have had a mixed start to their season. Patrick Vieira’s men were thumped 6-2 by Bayer Leverkusen in the Bay Arena on matchday one in the Europa League, though they have responded well with two wins and a draw from three league and cup matches since.
Last Thursday, the Eagles picked up a much-needed three points against Hapoel Beer Sheva. There was not a lot to split the pair at the Allianz Riviera, with a first-half strike from Amine Gouiri proving to be the only goal of the game in Nice.

Vieira demanded a response from his talented team after the humiliating loss in Germany two weeks back, and the former Arsenal captain has certainly seen a reaction since. Can the Ligue 1 outfit kick on and make it six points from a possible nine in Group C on Thursday?

Key Facts – Slavia Prague vs Nice Betting Tip
- Slavia Prague and Nice have never met in a competitive match
- Both teams hit back with three points last Thursday after losing their opening Europa League games
- Nice have won six of their 11 league and cup fixtures so far this season
Vieira’s Eagles were uncharacteristically poor in Germany a fortnight ago, but the French side showed plenty of grit and determination to beat Beer Sheva at home last week. We fancy Nice to secure a narrow win in the Czech Republic capital on Thursday. The visitors are priced at 7/5.
Gouiri has been in red-hot form for Nice so far this term. The 20-year-old has netted five times, including the winner in Nice’s Europa League victory a week ago. Take a punt on the young striker to score anytime in Prague at 3/1.
