Chelsea eye victory at home against Slavia Praha in 2018/19 UEFA Europa League quarter-final second leg
Kick-off : 7:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Stamford Bridge, London
Chelsea have an advantage as they performed to expectations in the 2018/19 UEFA Europa League Quarter-Final 1st leg against Slavia Praha away getting an away goal in their 1-0 win. They should now focus on securing safe passage to the semi’s.
The Blues know Slavia Praha will produce some tough football as the Czech side will be expecting to seek revenge of the home defeat. But Chelsea are a world class side and they will just need to play their brand of football.
On the other hand, Slavia Praha themselves will need to do it all conceding an away goal, so now need to at least score a goal. They will have to punch above weight.
The Czech outfit will be aware that Chelsea are a strong side at home and Slavia Praha will have to produce their best football giving their all and hoping for the best in order to progress.
