Slavia Prague vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction and Betting Tips for the UEFA Champions League, scheduled for Tuesday, November 25, 2025, at 20:00 GMT. The match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 7 and Discovery+ from the Fortuna Arena in Prague. Both clubs are desperate to reignite their European campaigns after a shaky start. In this article, you’ll find Champions League Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.
- Both sides struggling in Europe, desperate for a turnaround.
- Slavia unbeaten in their domestic league but winless in Europe.
- Athletic Bilbao reeling from a heavy La Liga defeat.
- Plenty of absentees on both sides could shape the result.
Slavia Prague are unbeaten at home domestically but can’t seem to catch a break in Europe. Four group games, no wins. Two points from a possible twelve. That hurts. Jindrich Trpisovsky’s side have found goals hard to come by, with just two scored and eight conceded so far. Even so, their domestic form paints a different story: 16 games unbeaten in the Czech league and brimming with confidence after a 3-1 win last Saturday. Can that energy spill over onto the continental stage? Hard to say, but the Fortuna Arena crowd will be roaring for it.
Still, injuries are slowing them down. Dominik Javorcek, Filip Horsky, and Petr Sevcik remain sidelined, with Oscar Dorley also missing out. That leaves the creative weight on Youssoupha Mbodji’s shoulders, who’s been their only real European bright spark. His movement and pressing could trouble Bilbao’s tired back line. But let’s be honest, if Slavia can’t find more fluency in attack, they’ll need to rely on grit and home advantage more than ever.
On the other hand, Athletic Bilbao come to Prague wounded. Ernesto Valverde’s men were humiliated 4-0 by Barcelona over the weekend, a defeat that stung both pride and morale. Their European record doesn’t inspire much hope either, one win and three losses, with four goals scored and nine conceded. The Basques are a talented squad but seem lost between pressing high and staying compact. It’s like they’re caught in two minds every time they step onto the pitch.
Injuries haven’t helped. Inaki Williams is a doubt, Yeray Alvarez remains suspended, and Benat Prados plus Unai Eguiluz are still recovering. That said, Gorka Guruzeta has been one of the few shining lights with three goals in this campaign. If he finds space, anything’s possible. Still, it’s a risky game. Both teams look vulnerable, and one mistake could tilt the balance. Expect a tight affair where control might matter more than creativity.

Backing 1X feels like the most reasonable call here. Slavia Prague may not have dazzled in the Champions League, but they’ve been a fortress at home in domestic play. Unbeaten in 16 league matches, scoring 32 goals and conceding only 12, they’re a tough nut to crack on home soil. Bilbao, meanwhile, are struggling to find rhythm. A 4-0 defeat to Barcelona exposed defensive fragility, and their away record in Europe has been patchy at best. Add to that several key injuries: Inaki Williams and Yeray Alvarez among them and it’s hard to see them controlling this tie. Slavia’s home crowd, intensity, and recent morale-boosting win should give them an edge, at least enough to avoid defeat. The Czech side might lack European flair, but they make up for it in discipline and hunger. A home win or draw seems like the safest route for bettors chasing solid value.
