Arsenal host the first leg in this deciding Europa League Quarter-finals game. Slavia Praha will try their very best to bring a solid result back to Sinobo Stadium before the return leg in 7 days.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Czech Liga game only four days ago. That game, against Zbrojovka Brno, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Slavia Praha.
It's quite the trip for Slavia Praha when visiting Arsenal as the cities are 1200 kilometers apart.

Last season their Europa League adventure ended in the 16th finals.Arsenal have collected 21 points from their Premier League home games so far after 6-3-6. On the other hand, in the Europa League, Arsenal has performed like this (both home and away): 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.
Arsenal's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-3 versus Liverpool. Preceding that game was the away draw at West Ham United that finished 3-3.
There will be little rest for Arsenal after this match as they are travelling to Sheffield United for a Premier League game in only three days.
Arsenal has scored 18 league goals at home this season, in 15 matches. 18 goals have been conceded.
Slavia Praha form and stats
Slavia Praha's mission in Champions League last season failed in the play-offs against Midtjylland.Slavia Praha's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Slavia Praha collect 31 points from their 13 away matches in the Czech Liga. 9 victories and 4 draws have created these points (and only 0 defeats). When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 6W-2D-2L. This is both home and away. In general it has been a productive period now for Slavia as they haven't lost any of their last 37 games. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Slovacko game have they lost an away game, meaning Slavia has taken points from 18 away matches in a row.
The Slavia goalkeeper Ondrej Kolar is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 307 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Slavia has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Zbrojovka Brno for a Czech Liga game that ended a draw (0-0). Prior to that match, a home win 4-0 against Opava in the Czech Liga.
After this away game Slavia Praha return home for a Czech Liga game against Sparta Praha. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 37 goals in 13 league games away this season. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Slavia as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.
