The UEFA Champions League Qualifying stages continue this week with Wednesday seeing an interesting fixture between SK Slavia Prague of Czech Republic taking on Union Saint-Gilloise of Belgium
Believe it or not these two sides have never faced one another. This will in fact be the first time they have played against each other in their histories.
In fact this is the first time Union Saint-Gilloise will be travelling to the Czech Republic having never faced Czech opposition.
The same can’t be said for Prague however who have had quite a rich history against Belgian opponents dating back as far as 1977. In eight games against Belgian sides they have managed two wins, one draw and five losses however. Something they will look to change in this game. Their most recent game against a team from Belgium was in 2019 where they managed to beat Genk 4-1.
Slavia Prague could see one of their top goalscorers from the previous two campaigns missing in this one. Vaclav Jurecka, has 47 goals in 78 appearances for the club, but has yet to start a single game this season. This due to a contract dispute suggesting that his absence may be continued.
The away side on the other hand look as though they will be without centre back pairing Ross Sykes and Christian Burgess who have missed recent games through injury. They may also be without Loic Lapoussin who recently handed in a transfer request.
Slavia Prague Predicted Lineup - Antonín Kinský, Tomáš Holeš, Igoh Ogbu, Jan Bořil, Lukáš Masopust, Filip Prebsl, Oscar Dorley, El Hadji Malick Diouf, Ivan Schranz, Tomáš Chorý, Lukáš Provod
Union Saint-Gilloise Predicted Lineup - Anthony Moris, Fedde Leysen, Koki Machida, Kevin Mac Allister, Henok Teklab, Cameron Puertas, Noah Sadiki, Anouar Ait El Hadj, Alessio Castro-Montes, Mohammed Gadafi Fuseini, Dennis Eckert
