Slavia Prague vs AC Milan Prediction and Betting Tips | March 14th 2024

Slavia Prague play host to AC Milan at the Fortuna Arena in the second leg of their Europa League round-of-16 clash on Thursday.

Having suffered a 4-2 loss when the sides met in Italy last week, Jindrich Trpisovsky’s men will be looking to overturn their two-goal deficit and turn the tie around.

Slavia Prague returned to winning ways in style as they thrashed Teplice 4-0 in the Czech Republic top flight last Sunday.

Prior to that, the Červenobílí were on a three-game winless run, claiming one draw and losing twice, including a 4-2 defeat against AC Milan in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 clash last Thursday (7 March).

Trpisovsky’s side will hope his side can pick up where they left off against Teplice as they look to make a remarkable comeback on Thursday and reach the Europa League quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, Christian Pulisic netted his eighth Serie A goal of the season as AC Milan scraped a 1-0 victory over Empoli at San Siro last Sunday (10 March).

This result saw Stefano Pioli’s men leapfrog Juventus and move into second place in the league table, albeit 16 points adrift of league leaders Inter Milan.

Having crashed out of the Champions League in the group stages, AC Milan have enjoyed a solid run in the Europa League, beating Stade Rennais 5-3 on aggregate in the knockout-stage playoffs before securing a vital first-leg victory over Slavia Prague last Thursday.
