Slavia Prague vs Royale Union SG Prediction & Tips
This is one of the most eagerly-awaited fixtures in the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League. Following their 2nd place finish in the Czech league last term, Slavia Prague are looking forward to competing in Europe’s premier club competition.

Like Slavia Prague, the Belgian club were held to a 0-0 draw at Dender when the league resumed. Nevertheless, Sébastien Pocognoli’s men were able to unlock their success against Beerschoot VA last Friday (3-1). A confidence-booster ahead of their Champions League qualifying debut.
