Noticed in the group stage of the Champions League last year after giving FC Barcelona a hard time, in particular, Slavia Prague did not succeed in avoiding 4th place in a very tough group (Barça, Dortmund, Inter). On the other hand, the club of the capital won its 6th league title in the Czech Republic, quite ahead of Viktoria Plzen and Sparta. Back to competition a month ago, the people of Prague have started this new season well and have taken 10 points out of 12 possible. Last weekend, they made short work of Teplice (5-1).
Crowned in Denmark, Midtjylland beat the capital club FC Copenhage by 14 points at the end of the championship phase. On the other hand, the new season did not start ideally for the champions after being defeated by Sonderjyske on the first day (2-0). Winner of Ludogorets (0-1) in the 2nd round, the players of the city of Herning then struck a blow by crushing the Young Boys of Bern (3-0). In confidence, the Wolves then beat Lyngby in the league (1-0).
The workforce for Slavia Prague vs FC Midtjylland
This summer, Slavia let their often-starting defender Frydrich go after having already lost their excellent international midfielder Soucek and top scorer (8 goals), who left for West Ham last January. This is the only big transfer to report in this formation which kept the other internationals Boril, Coufal, Kudela, Hovorka, Masopust (6 goals), Sevcik (6 goals), and Provod, and which was reinforced by drawing from the national competitors. We also find at the front the promising Croatian striker Petar Musa, decisive twice since the start of the season. Less insight last season with only 3 goals on the clock, the experienced Tecl has already equaled this total in just 4 days this season. For this match, the potentially titular defender Karfiat is forfeited, while the incumbents Hovorka and Traoré are uncertain.
On the Midtjylland side, we find goalkeeper Hansen (ex-Bastia and Evian Thonon-Gailalrd) and scorer Ronnie Schwartz (ex-Guingamp), top scorer in the championship last season with 18 goals to his name. On the other hand, this one does not play at the beginning of the season. The team also relies on its midfielders Evander (8 achievements last year) and Mabil (8 achievements). Arriving at the club this summer from Celta Vigo, international winger Sisto scored the winning goal against Lyngby on Friday. On the other hand, another summer recruit, the defender Riis remains forfeited.
