Tottenham Hotspur vs Slavia Prague Prediction and Betting Tips

Tottenham Hotspur take on Slavia Prague in a UEFA Champions League match this Tuesday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Tottenham are currently in 16th place in the Champions League, but will still have an eye on a top-eight finish.

Slavia Prague, meanwhile, are down in 31st and their hopes of securing a play-off spot are becoming slimmer.

So, will it be a home victory for Tottenham this week or will the Czech team produce an upset?

Tottenham Hotspur vs Slavia Prague Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Tottenham and Slavia Prague have faced off in European competition four times in the past, in the 2006 and 2008 editions of the Europa League. Tottenham recorded three wins and a draw in those games.
Tottenham's last Champions League match saw them beaten by holders Paris Saint-Germain in a thriller that ended 5-3. Before that, Spurs had won two and drawn two matches in the competition, notably winning both of their home matches against Villarreal and FC Copenhagen.
Slavia Prague have yet to win a game in the league phase, having drawn three and lost two of their five matches. Most notably, they were blown away 0-3 by Tottenham's bitter rivals Arsenal on matchweek four.
Tottenham will come into this match on the back of arguably their best performance at home all season, as they defeated manager Thomas Frank's old side Brentford 2-0 at the weekend. The match was their first home win in the Premier League since August.
Slavia Prague are the Champions League's lowest-scoring side right now, with just two goals to their name thus far. Both of those goals came in their opening draw with Bodo/Glimt, meaning they have drawn four blanks in the matches that have followed.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Slavia Prague Prediction

Tottenham could really do with a win here, not only to keep the momentum from the weekend going, but also to give themselves a fighting chance of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Luckily for Thomas Frank's side, they've drawn a good side to get that victory. Not only have Slavia Prague not won a game in the competition yet, but their goalscoring record is also appalling.

With that considered, Frank may even be able to shuffle his hand a little here and still expect a positive result, particularly as his side's home record in Europe this season is good. The prediction, then, is a Tottenham win.
