The fourth match day of the 2025/26 league phase in the UEFA Champions League sees one of the teams with a 100% record, Arsenal, head to the Czech capital city to face Slavia Prague tonight.
Runaway Premier League leaders Arsenal are on a nine-match winning streak in which they have conceded just a solitary goal as the Gunners stride towards their goal of stacking up silverware this season, following their 2-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor at the weekend.
Slavia Prague have been competitive in the competition thus far, with draws against Bodo/Glimt and Atalanta sandwiching a 3-0 defeat at the San Siro against Inter Milan.
Will Arsenal march on or can Slavia Prague finally produce a major upset in one of the night's early kick offs? AllSportsPeople brings you this betting preview complete with the latest tips, predictions and odds on a huge night of Champions League action headlined by Liverpool vs. Real Madrid at Anfield and PSG vs. Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes.
Slavia Prague vs. Arsenal preview: Who will win tonight?
With home advantage at the Fortuna Arena, Slavia Prague will believe they can provide some difficulties for the Gunners, as they have against Bodo and Atalanta, but this is now a major step up.
Pretty much every team they face are struggling to create anything against the Gunners this season, having conceded just three goals in 15 matches across all competitions including a Dominik Szoboszlai screamer at Anfield.
In the Premier League, Arsenal have allowed an average of just 7.5 shots against them - for context, Man City are the only other team below 10 (9.4). Mikel Arteta's side should, again, ease to three points here and take another big step towards the knockout stage.

Slavia Prague vs. Arsenal Score Prediction
Despite having been competitive in the UEFA Champions League, Slavia lack quality in the final third and that has shown by failing to score in four of their last seven matches in all competitions.
Arsenal head to Czechia amid the murmurs of 'Set Piece FC' knowing they could be more fluent in attack, yet you can't argue with their effectiveness. They will be stretched by the absence of Gyokeres, Martinelli and Odegaard but are still expected to ease to a comfortable win here.

Slavia Prague Team News
- Slovakia international winger Ivan Schranz is a key man for Slavia Prague but it appears as though he is now set to be unavailable until after the November international break.
- Another experienced man for the hosts, Tomas Holes, is also expected to be sidelined until later this month, limiting their already limited squad even further.
- As well as that, Slavia are also set to be without Petr Sevcik, as well as Igoh Ogbu and Dominik Javorcek for this week.
Arsenal Team News
- Arsenal could rotate tonight, with the most likely areas for rotation being at full-back with Ben White and Myles Lewis-Skelly stepping in for Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber.
- The Gunners to have some injury issues, too, with Martin Odegaard remaining sidelined alongside the likes of Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke and Gabriel Jesus.
- Max Dowman started in the EFL Cup for Arsenal last week but the 15-year-old is unlikely to start this week, albeit Mikel Arteta will be keen to not risk burnout for Bukayo Saka.
- Viktor Gyokeres put in arguably his most impressive performance since joining from Sporting CP during Arsenal's weekend win over Burnley, but this was curtailed at halftime and he is now confirmed out of this one too. Martin Zubimendi is another who could be given a rest.
Slavia Prague vs. Arsenal Predicted Lineups
This is how we think these two sides will line up tonight, with Mikel Merino leading the line in the absence of Gyokeres. Christian Norgaard over Zubimendi is a slightly speculative prediction but the Gunners are flying high in the Group Stage table and will want their big hitters back for the last Premier League match before the international break against Sunderland.
