Royale Union SG vs Slavia Prague Prediction & Betting Tips (13 August)

Author of 16 goals and 4 assists in the league last year, Swedish international Gustaf Nilsson has joined Club Brugge, to the great dismay of local supporters. The Algerian Amoura (18 goals, 4 assists) was loaned (loan paying €3,000,000) to Wolfsburg. Fortunately for the people of Brussels, they were able to keep the Spanish number 10 Cameron Puertas (11 goals, 17 assists) and the Malagasy Lapoussin (5 goals, 4 assists) but the latter is absent for a long time. Burgess and Skykes (important but not crucial in defense), and midfielder Amani (paulier in the middle). No big recruits to note for the USG, unfortunately the loss of 1st place, the title, and the qualification in LDC last year, did not allow the club to recruit and retain executives. For this match, Slavia is deprived of its senior defender Holes, but also of Chaloupek, Stanek, Vlcek and Zmrzly, all in the rearguard. In addition, midfielders Doudera (1 goal already in the league), Sevcik is uncertain, Buzek is back (own goal scorer).

Completely unlike the USG, Slavia has kept its main executives. Only O.Lingr preferred to join Feyenoord in the Netherlands, on the contrary Tomas Chory arrives directly from V.Plzen (11 goals in 2023-24, 3,000,000), the 3rd best team in the Czech championship behind the ogres of Prague. On the offensive side, we find the formidable Chytil (16 goals, 4 assists) and the more experienced Jurecka (19 goals, 6 assists) while the Norwegian Wallem (5 goals, 5 assists) is also operational.

Over the course of their last 21 home games in the Champions League, while Royale Union SG have been involved in no fewer than 15 contests in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 91 minutes. This has also been the case in five of the previous six Slavia Prague away matches at this level, so all the signs point towards a difficult evening for keepers.
