On Thursday, Slavia Prague welcomes Bayer Leverkusen on behalf of the 2nd day of the Europa League. Slavia Prague hopes to bounce back after losing their 1st game while Bayer Leverkusen aims for a 2nd victory.
Present in the Champions League last season, Slavia Prague finished last in their group behind Barça, Dortmund and Inter. On the other hand, the players of the capital shone on the national scene by obtaining a new title of champion of the Czech Republic. In the league, Jindrish Trpisovsky’s men won 5 out of 6 matches, the last of which was against Slovacko (3-0) and Banik Ostrava (0-1). For their debut in this Europa League, they lost against Hapoel Beer Sheva (3-1).
Struggling in the spring, Bayer Leverkusen fell to 5th place in the Bundesliga behind 4th, Borussia Mönchengladbach. As a result, they had to be content with a place in the Europa League where they started very well by currying Nice (6-2) last week. In the league, Peter Bosz’s men remain unbeaten before facing Augsburg on Monday evening. After having drawn 3 matches against Wolfsburg (0-0), Leipzig (1-1) and Stuttgart (1-1) during the first 3 days, they had won their first victory of the season against Mainz (0-1).
At Slavia Prague, many Czech internationals are included in the workforce, such as goalkeeper Kolar, defenders Boril, Kudela, Hodes, Hovorka, midfielders Masopust, Sevcik and Provod and striker and top scorer Tecl (3 goals ). In addition, we find the Romanian international Stanciu and the Nigerian Olayinka who are among the executives. A priori, the very important defender Holes is the only one absent.
Bayer should be deprived of offensive rookie Schick and important Arias, Paulinho and Aranguiz who are all in the infirmary. Last week, German striker Bellarabi suddenly woke up to score a brace against Nice after being silent in the league.
The match will be played with a limited number of spectators (30% of the stadium capacity).
Coaches have the possibility of making 5 substitutions during the game.
Very good last week against Nice, Bayer Leverkusen could go on against a Prague team that did not do well against Hapoel Beer Sheva. Bayer Leverkusen victory!
