Slavia Prague vs Feyenoord Prediction
Slavia Prague's strong home record means they will start the game as slight favorites to emerge victorious. The Czech champions have also impressed defensively and need the win to keep their hopes of finishing second alive.
They will, however, have to perform at an optimum to triumph over an ever-improving Feyenoord side. The visitors need just one point to be guaranteed of progress but are unlikely to sit back and play for a draw.
We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
Prediction: Slavia Prague 1-1 Feyenoord
