Our Prediction for the Match: Athletic vs Slavia Prague
The "Basques" reunited with Valverde two years ago. The first year following the specialist's return to Bilbao brought only relative progress, finishing eighth in La Liga and losing in the cup semi-finals. However, in the following season, they clinched the Copa del Rey, marking their fortieth anniversary since their last triumph. Nonetheless, they were unable to break into the top four in La Liga, allowing Atletico to secure a place among the leaders. The "Patchwork" side again fell short against local rivals Spartak, finishing as runners-up.
The new season is not shaping up well for the club from Bilbao, although they managed to retain their key players. Without Unai Lopez, who underwent a postponed operation after the Euros, they are conceding more goals and, consequently, losing points more frequently. Nevertheless, they thrashed Espanyol 4-1 after the international break. Under Trpisovsky's guidance, Slavia Prague has been almost flawless domestically, currently sitting at the top. In the last round, they narrowly defeated Jablonec 2-1. However, in the Champions League, after defeating Union, they scored one goal fewer than Lille.
Transitioning to the Europa League, the Czechs have performed well. They defeated Ludogorets 2-0 away, then drew with Ajax at home, although the Dutch team played with ten men from the 75th minute. The "Basques" drew 1-1 at Roma before securing a 2-0 victory over AZ at home, scoring twice towards the end of the match.

Athletic is certainly the favorite at home, but they need to prepare for a response from the Czechs, as a single goal may not suffice for victory. We anticipate a total of over 2.5 goals (odds – 1.89).
