It is Slavia Praha vs Anderlecht on Matchday 6 of the Europa League, with them having very different European campaigns so far. The Czech side are 26th with four points having lost their last three fixtures, while Anderlecht are still unbeaten (three wins, two draws), which has put them in 5th.
Belgium’s most successful club will see this as a brilliant opportunity to put one foot in the next round of the Europa League, whether that be via the top eight places or the play-offs.

Slavia Praha vs Anderlecht Preview
Despite a win on the competition’s opening matchday, the Europa League has become increasingly more difficult for Slavia Praha, who have been without a win since.
They will feel slightly unlucky considering how the fixtures have fallen, with two of the three defeats coming against teams (Athletic Club and Frankfurt) who currently occupy 2nd and 3rd in the League Phase table, respectively.
It is difficult to see how Slavia will qualify for the Round of 16 by finishing in the top eight qualifying spots, but should they get a couple of positive results in the last few fixtures, they will fancy themselves to sneak into the play-off places.
Unless they suffer a cataclysmic collapse, Anderlecht should have no such problems making an appearance in the latter stages. Their League Phase began with three wins on the trot before being slowed down by back-to-back draws that have added a bit more pressure to this particular fixture.
The team from the Belgian capital were most impressive in their defeat of Real Sociedad on Matchday 2, beating the Basque team 2-1 on their own patch.
Slavia Praha vs Anderlecht Odds
Slavia Praha are at the surprisingly short odds of 1.45 to win this match, which must be based on their domestic form, while Anderlecht are priced at 6.50. If you fancy the draw, you can get it at 4.25.

Moneyline / Both Teams to Score – Anderlecht Win and Both to Score @ 10.75
We are going really big on Anderlecht this week, and it has got nothing to do with an upcoming getaway to Brussels. It has got more to do with form in Europe this season being strong enough to withstand whatever Slavia Praha have to throw at them.
