Athletic Bilbao - Slavia Prague: Form Analysis
Athletic Bilbao have made a positive start in Europe, unbeaten in the first two rounds after opening their account with a 1-1 draw against Roma before beating AZ Alkmaar 2-0 in week two.
Across all competitions, Los Leones have only suffered three defeats this season, all in La Liga, and against formidable opponents in Girona, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
Notably, they have been in good goal-scoring form this term, failing to find the target only once so far, which was in their defeat to Los Colchoneros a couple of months ago.
Athletic Bilbao are unbeaten in their last four home matches and have only lost once since August 2023!
Meanwhile, Slavia Prague’s four points in this competition have come via a 2-0 opening-round victory on the road against Ludogorets and a 1-1 draw at home to Ajax in week two.
Cervenobili have been in fine form in the lead-up to this match too, unbeaten in their last nine matches in all competitions, including eight wins with the draw to Ajax being the exception.
On the road, the visitors have won all of their last four matches and scored two or more goals in each, while also keeping three clean sheets during that period.

Athletic Bilbao & Slavia Prague Squad Analysis
Athletic Bilbao’s first-choice goalkeeper Unai Simon is only expected to return to action in December which should see Julen Agirrezabala continue between the sticks for the foreseeable future.
Mikel Vesga is the hosts' only long-term absentee, while Oihan Sancet missed the victory over Espanyol at the weekend due to a thigh injury and is flagged as a doubt for this match.
Inaki Williams has scored three goals in his last three matches, including a brace over the weekend!
Slavia Prague, meanwhile, have been doing incredibly well of late considering their fairly extensive injury list, which features as many as eight players at present.
Among those definitely ruled out this week are long-term absentees Tomas Vlcek (knee), Jindrich Stanek (shoulder), Igoh Ogbu (head), Daniel Fila (head) and Lukas Masopust (muscle).
Ivan Schranz and Lukas Vorlicky are also likely to sit out this match owing to knee injuries, while David Zima is flagged as a doubt due to a knock.

Our Athletic Bilbao vs Slavia Prague Prediction
While Athletic Bilbao are heavily fancied to win this match, it may not be as straightforward as the odds suggest given the type of form that their opponents have been in lately.
Slavia Prague are unbeaten in their last nine matches leading up to this one and proved they can challenge the bigger European clubs by taking a point off Ajax in the last round. Both these sides have proper attacking strength and we feel there will be goals at both ends in this match. Our Athletic Bilbao vs Slavia Prague prediction: Both teams to score!
