- 斯拉维亚布拉格队在最近三场欧冠比赛中都没有进球
- 毕尔巴鄂竞技队本赛季在四场欧冠比赛中有两场没有进球
- 13个月前，当这两支球队在欧洲联赛中相遇时，Athletic以1比0获胜
体育俱乐部将尊重斯拉维亚
周二，埃内斯托·巴尔维德率领毕尔巴鄂竞技队前往捷克首都参加艰难的欧冠任务，他可能会对斯拉维亚·布拉格给予足够的尊重。巴尔韦德不需要提醒，一年多前，他的球队在欧洲联赛的主场比赛中是如何仅次于斯拉维亚的，由于尼科·威廉姆斯的进球，球队以1比0获胜。
那是受伤前的威廉姆斯，他已经打了一段时间的高水平比赛，但这位西班牙国脚在过去的几个月里一直是他以前的影子，因为他腹股沟受伤了。
这位边锋现在开始再次自由奔跑，看起来本周可能会以巴尔韦德的身份在Fortuna Arena首发；美国队希望缩小与前24名的差距，以确保晋级季后赛。
冲突可能会在一段时间内保持竞争力
斯拉维亚在对阵亚特兰大和博多/格利姆特的平局中仅得两分，排名第30位。他们在其他比赛中以3比0击败国际米兰和阿森纳，但他们的表现远未达到任何水平。
Jindřich Trpišovsky；西班牙队在这里面对的不是像蓝黑军团这样优雅的球队，也不是像阿森纳那样危险的球队，所以在巴斯克队之前，他们可能会有一段时间的竞争力；她高超的技术和气质使他们处于领先地位。
斯拉维亚的防守很扎实，在金德里奇·斯坦内克有一个出色的门将，所以在比赛中，如果客队以1比0获胜，那么支持不到2.5个进球是值得的。

Athletic Club will respect Slavia
Ernesto Valverde is likely to give Slavia Prague plenty of respect when he takes his Athletic Bilbao side to the capital of Czechia for a tough Champions League assignment on Tuesday. Valverde will need no reminder of how his side were second best to Slavia in a home Europa League game just over a year ago, scraping a fortunate 1-0 win thanks to a Nico Williams goal.
That was a pre-injury Williams who had been playing at a high level for a while, but the Spain international has been a shadow of his former self for the past few months as he struggles with a groin injury.
The winger is starting to run with a bit more freedom again now and looks likely to start at Fortuna Arena this week as Valverde’s side look to close the gap to the top-24 places that would ensure progression to the playoffs.
Clash could remain competitive for a while
Slavia lie in a lowly 30th place after taking just two points from draws against Atalanta and Bodo/Glimt. They were nowhere near good enough to get anything in 3-0 thrashings by Inter and Arsenal in their other games.
Jindřich Trpišovský’s side are not up against a team as classy as the Nerazzurri or as dangerous as Arsenal here, so could be competitive for a while before the Basque outfit’s superior technique and temperament get them in front.
Slavia are solid in defence and have an outstanding keeper in Jindrich Stanek, so it could be worth backing fewer than 2.5 goals in the game with a smaller wager on a 1-0 win for the visitors.
