Tottenham vs Slavia Praha Prediction - UEFA Champions League
Tottenham are considered the clear favorites against Slavia Prague at home in the UEFA Champions League, despite facing a wave of injuries. The visitors' poor form presents an opportunity for the Spurs.
Match context
The UEFA Champions League match between Tottenham and Slavia Prague will take place at 03:00 on December 10, 2025, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. With home advantage and a superior squad, Tottenham is expected to secure all three points against their Czech Republic opponents, despite some squad constraints.
Contrasting form
The difference in form between the two teams is very clear. Tottenham are performing relatively consistently, while Slavia Prague are mired in crisis.
Tottenham are looking to regain stability.
In their last five matches, Tottenham have secured two wins, two draws, and suffered only one defeat. Notably, they have demonstrated absolute dominance at home with two consecutive wins this season. The London team's attack has been effective, scoring 10 goals (an average of 2.0 goals per game), however, their defense still needs improvement, having conceded 7 goals (an average of 1.4 goals per game).
Slavia Praha has yet to taste victory.
In stark contrast, Slavia Praha is currently on a five-match winless streak, with three draws and two losses. Their biggest weakness lies in their attack, having scored only two goals (an average of 0.4 goals per game). Their defense is also fragile, having conceded eight goals. Their away form is also unfavorable, with one draw and one loss in their last two away games.
Force situation
Both teams faced significant personnel losses ahead of this match, especially the home team.
Tottenham are facing a headache due to a wave of injuries.
Tottenham's manager is facing a difficult personnel dilemma as a number of key players are unavailable. The list of absentees is extensive, including important names such as Y. Bissouma (ankle injury), R. Dragusin (knee injury), D. Kulusevski (knee injury), J. Maddison (knee injury), and D. Udogie (muscle injury). In addition, D. Solanke, K. Takai, and M. Tel are also absent, while B. Johnson's participation remains uncertain.
Slavia Prague also suffered losses.
The visiting team also lacks its strongest squad for the trip to London. Players absent include D. Javorcek and P. Sevcik due to knee injuries. In addition, E. Fully, O. Kolar, L. Vorlicky, and O. Zmrzly are also not registered to play.
Analysis and predictions
Based on all factors, Tottenham are clearly superior to Slavia Prague. The biggest challenge for the home team is how to fill the void left by the wave of injuries. However, with a still-effective attack and their opponent's weak offensive capabilities, the English team is predicted to easily control the game. Although experts give a 45% chance of a draw, equal to Tottenham's chances of winning, Slavia Prague's chances of causing an upset are very low (10%). A home victory is a realistic goal for Tottenham.
