Slavia Praha form and stats

Slavia was eliminated in the quarter-finals last season in the Europa League. Arsenal was too strong.

Slavia has a nice streak going on as they have played 49 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Slovacko defeat 536 days ago.

Slavia are returning here after visiting Mlada Boleslav in a Czech Liga game and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. Ivan Schranz and Jan Kuchta scored the goal(s).

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Ferencváros.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Banik Ostrava are coming to town in three days.

Legia Warszawa form and stats

They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the play-offs.

Legia Warszawa are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Ekstraklasa, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

It's the second away game in a row for Warszawa, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Warta Poznan in the Ekstraklasa last time out.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Dinamo Zagreb.

A new game in only three days for Legia Warszawa, the Ekstraklasa home match versus Nieciecza. Busy days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Legia Warszawa has managed 3 goals and let in 3 from 2 matches.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
