Slavia Prague vs Ajax Preview

Slavia Prague’s form is beyond impressive this season across all competitions. Ajax are in good shape as well, but the Czech side looks unstoppable at the moment, so I am backing home win on Thursday. Slavia to win & BTTS is a value bet.

Slavia Prague have won 12 of their last 13 matches.
Slavia Prague have seen BTTS in 2 of their last 3 matches (Europa League).
Ajax have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 8 away matches.

Head to Head

Slavia Prague have a 2-0 advantage against Ajax with 1 draw in 3 matches.

They last met in December 2008, the game ending in a 2-2 draw.

Slavia Prague Form

Slavia Prague are the hottest team in the Czech Republic right now, having won eight games in a row and sit top of the table with 25 points after nine rounds.

That winning streak was extended last weekend with another convincing victory against Bohemians 4-0, El Hadji Diouf, Tomas Chory and Christos Zafeiris finding the net.

Earlier in September, they were also victorious against Viktoria Plzen 3-0, Mlada Boleslav 2-0 and Pardubice 2-0.

Slavia Prague were also victorious in the Europa League group stages opening match last week, beating Ludogorets 2-0 in Bulgaria, Mater Jurasek breaking the deadlock while Mojmir Chytil doubled the lead early in second half.

Slavia Prague Injuries & Team News

Reserve goalkeeper Jindrich Stanek will be out until early 2025 due to a shoulder injury.

One of the best defenders Tomas Vlcek won’t be back until next season due to knee surgery.

Ajax Form

Ajax earned commanding 4-0 victory against Besiktas in the Europa League opening clash last week in Amsterdam, Mika Godts being man of the match scoring a brace, Kian Fitz-Jim and Kenneth Taylor also on target.

De Godenzonen also returned to winning ways in the Dutch Eredivisie last weekend. After a disappointing 1-1 draw against Go Ahead Eagles, they defeated RKC Waalwijk 2-0 with late goals of Godts and Bertrand Traore.

Ajax are currently 5th in the Dutch top flight after collecting ten points from five matches (three wins, one draw and one defeat).

Ajax Injuries & Team News

Right backs Anton Gaaei and Sivert Mannsverk are both injured, but wasn’t expected to start anyway.

Forward Steven Berghuis is still recovering from a muscle injury.

Recent acquisition Wout Weghorst is doubtful after picking up a knock last week.

Verdict

Slavia Prague v Ajax

Ajax are in good form right now, but it’s impossible to ignore Slavia Prague’s impressive run of 12 wins in last 13 games. I will back the Czech side to keep winning, but visitors deserve respect and have a good chance of finding the net.
