Slavia Prague have rebounded impressively after a narrow and arguably undeserved 3-2 loss to Lens, stringing together four consecutive victories. Their current strong form suggests they are well poised to maintain this momentum against Sabah Baku, who are considered less experienced at this competitive level. The article highlights increased confidence in Slavia Prague’s ability to secure another win and continue their streak.

This is the second year straight for Slavia Prague in the UCL main stage, so they have both quality and experience on their side. An away win is tipped in Azerbaijan. 

Key Stats  


  • Sabah Baku have lost 2 of their last 3 matches (UCL). 
  • Slavia Prague have won their last 4 matches. 

No Previous Meetings 


This is going to be the first head to head clash between Sabah Baku and Slavia Prague. 

First Ever UCL Home Game for Sabah 


Sabah Baku haven't shown much in the Champions League opening round, suffering a heavy 4-0 loss against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Orphe Mbina missed a big chance to score a consolation here. 

They responded with back to back victories in the Azerbaijani Premyer Liqa, taking down Safa Baku 3-0 and Imisli FK 3-1. 

Sabah’s first appearance after the international break was last weekend, a derby match against Neftci Baku which ended in a goalless draw, leaving them in first place with 16 points after six rounds. 

Visitors are in Great Shape 


Slavia Prague had a 2-1 lead against Lens in the UCL opening round all until stoppage time, then conceded two goals to lose the game 3-2 in an unbelievable fashion. Danijel Sturm scored both goals for the Czech side. 

They responded by winning next three games before the international break, beating Teplice 2-0 and Viktoria Plzen 2-1 in the Czech First League and Varnsdorf 5-1 in the Czech Cup. 

Slavia Prague extended their winning streak last weekend with another league victory against Zlin 1-0, Emmanuel Ayaosi finding the net in the 16th minute on Lukas Provod's assist. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Sabah Baku (4-3-3) Stas Pokatilov; Akim Zedadka, Rahman Dasdamirov, Aden McCarthy, Tymoteusz Puchacz; Umarali Rakhmonaliev, Ivan Lepinjica, Veljko Simic; Kaheem Parris, Joy-Lance Mickels, Christian Nwachukwu

The home side will be without midfielder Khayal Aliyev, who remains sidelined due to a tendon rupture.

Slavia Prague (3-4-3) Jakub Markovic; Tomas Holes, David Zima, Tomas Vlcek; Samuel Isife, David Moses, Wiktor Nowak, Michal Sadilek; Mubarak Suleiman, Emmanuel Ayaosi, Danijel Sturm

Defender Mikulas Konecny will be serving a suspensions after being sent off in the first round against Lens. Centre-back Igoh Ogbu is injured.

Verdict

Slavia Prague picked up great form after an undeserved 3-2 loss to Lens, winning four games in a row. I will back them to extend this run against Sabah Baku, who lack experience on the big stage.
