Arsenal’s Champions League story this season reads like a statement of intent. Three games, three wins, zero goals conceded and a level of control that’s almost unnerving. Against Atletico, the Gunners turned ruthless: four goals in 13 minutes, led by the ever-clinical Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Martinelli. It’s the kind of form that makes them genuine contenders. Can they really keep this up away from home? Hard to bet against them, given their streak of nine straight victories in all competitions and seven consecutive clean sheets.

Still, Slavia Prague aren’t exactly rolling over. Jindrich Trpisovsky’s men may not boast Arsenal’s firepower, but they’re stubborn, compact, and quietly effective. They’ve kept five clean sheets in a row domestically, climbing back to the top of the Czech 1. Liga. And while they’ve drawn twice and lost once in Europe so far, their resilience at home shouldn’t be underestimated. They’ve scored in 26 of their last 27 European games at the Fortuna Arena. That’s no fluke. The crowd will believe, and that counts for something.

Yet, history doesn’t favor the hosts. Slavia have never beaten Arsenal in four attempts, and their record against English clubs is bleak: just one win in eight home games. Last time these sides met in Europe, Arsenal ran riot in a 4-0 win that silenced Prague. This time around, injuries plague Trpisovsky’s lineup, with captain Jan Boril, Petr Sevcik, and Ivan Schranz all sidelined. Without their leaders, Slavia’s structure could crack under pressure from Saka, Trossard, and Rice. It’s a big ask to contain this Arsenal side for 90 minutes.

Even with some injury doubts: Martinelli, Gyokeres, and Zubimendi among them, Mikel Arteta’s rotation has been seamless. His Champions League win rate sits at an impressive 63%, and this squad looks built for both domestic and European glory. A win here would mark their best continental start since 2005. That said, expect Slavia to fight tooth and nail in front of their fans. Still, the edge lies with Arsenal, who seem too sharp, too complete, and just too good right now.

Arsenal face mounting injury concerns ahead of their Champions League clash with Slavia Prague, as several key players remain sidelined. Martin Ødegaard continues to battle a knee problem, while Gabriel Martinelli and Noni Madueke are also out due to thigh and knee issues respectively. Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are long-term absentees following knee surgeries. Mikel Arteta is expected to give further updates on Monday. Source: standard.co.uk.

Arsenal to Win
Arsenal are in unstoppable form, winning nine straight matches across all competitions, including three in the Champions League without conceding a goal. Their defense, anchored by Saliba and Rice, has allowed the joint-fewest shots on target in the tournament. Meanwhile, Slavia Prague, though solid domestically, are winless in their last 14 Champions League fixtures. Arteta’s men have also never lost to Czech opposition, winning eight of ten previous meetings. Even without Martinelli and Gyokeres, Arsenal’s squad depth — with Trossard, Saka, and Rice, gives them multiple scoring outlets. Slavia’s compact defense may frustrate early, but Arsenal’s relentless press and superior quality should wear them down. Playing away hasn’t fazed the Gunners either; they’ve won four straight on the road. Everything points to another composed, professional performance from a side that’s clicking perfectly under Arteta. Arsenal to win looks like the smart, statistically sound call.

Over 1.5 Goals
Arsenal’s attacking play has been nothing short of clinical lately. They’ve scored at least two goals in seven of their last nine matches across all competitions. Their Champions League form is similar, with an average of 2.7 goals scored per game. Even if Slavia Prague set up defensively, the Gunners’ wide threats from Saka and Trossard can create openings. Slavia themselves are no strangers to scoring, finding the net in 26 of their last 27 home European fixtures. Both sides carry offensive potential, and while Arsenal’s defense has been strong, Slavia’s home energy could yield chances. Over 1.5 goals is supported by historical trends too, all of Arsenal’s previous four meetings with Slavia produced two or more goals. Whether through a composed Arsenal win or a surprise from the hosts, this game feels destined to clear that modest total. Expect tempo, pressure, and at least two goals.
