"Starting with the hosts, heading into the festive break holding a commanding seven-point buffer at the top of the First League table and appearing to defend their domestic crown at a canter this season, Slavia Prague have embarked on yet another Czech romp. However, officially getting the New Year underway with a monumental challenge at the Fortuna Arena, Jindrich Trpisovsky's men have drastically failed to find their feet on the European stage."
"Last seen in Champions League action getting blown away at a struggling Tottenham as they slumped to a routine 3-0 drumming in north London, Slavia are still waiting to put a maiden Champions League victory on the board. Likewise, registering just three points from any of their six European showdowns this season, they have also failed to find the net in all of their last five straight showdowns on the continent."
Slavia Prague hold a seven-point lead in the Czech First League and appear well placed to defend their domestic title. Slavia have struggled in Champions League competition, failing to register a victory and not scoring in their last five European matches. The side conceded a 3-0 defeat at Tottenham and have just three points from six European games. Igoh Ogbu should return after securing a bronze medal with Nigeria at AFCON. Dominik Javorcek, Filip Horsky and Petr Sevcik remain sidelined with knee injuries. Tomas Chory has been Slavia's key attacking threat, while David Zima will start at left-back. Barcelona seek an immediate response after losing 2-1 at Real Sociedad.
