Our tip: Bilbao – Slavia: 1st half – 0

24.10.2024 21:00

Both teams have four points after two rounds in the Europa League, and although the home team is the paper favourite, the visitors are not without a chance for a solid result.

Slavia are in great form at the moment, with the team doing well on all fronts. The team is cohesive and has gained confidence, with most of the players showing good form in every game. Coach Trpišovský has eased the rotation compared to last year, the team is so cohesive, which is reflected both forward and back.

Sešiváni have a lot of experience with cups and can surprise even stronger opponents. The main weapon is running and physical readiness, as well as the intensity of the game.

Slavia can play high pressing, if they use it, the opponent will have problems. Compared to the league, the rested Oscar will return to the starting lineup, who was out due to a card penalty. Standard situations could also be a big weapon for Slavia, long crosses and corners to Chorý will be difficult for opponents to defend.

Bilbao’s form, on the other hand, is not quite at the top, having failed to win three times out of the last five competitive matches (league + cup), the home side only picked up at the weekend when they managed a dress rehearsal against Espanyol (4-1). The younger of the Nico brothers has been struggling a bit after the European Championship, with only a 1+1 record in the league. The Basques will be better on the ball and with their technical maturity, but if Slavia can get timely possession and move honestly in the block, Bilbao could struggle.

What to bet on:

Bilbao is much closer to winning, but Slavia will resist in Spain at least in the first half. The duels with Chorý and co. will hurt the home team, Slavia will get under the opponent’s skin. A draw after 45 minutes has value.

Trust:

6/10
