Tottenham vs Slavia Prague prediction, H2H and probable lineups – December 9, 2025
One of the matches of Matchday 6 in the 2025/26 Champions League group stage will take place on Tuesday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, where the hosts will face Slavia Prague. Here’s a prediction for this showdown with solid chances for success.
Match preview
After an entertaining but ultimately unsuccessful clash against PSG (3-5), Spurs bounced back to winning ways by defeating Brentford in the London derby. That Premier League victory was their first in six matches and restored some much-needed confidence ahead of their European test. Tottenham currently sit 16th in the Champions League standings but still have a genuine shot at direct qualification for the round of 16.
At home, Tottenham are a fortress: the team is unbeaten in European competition at their stadium for 22 consecutive matches. In this season’s UCL campaign, they have not only won both home fixtures without conceding, but are also on the verge of a milestone—closing in on their 100th goal in the competition. The clash with Slavia is a perfect opportunity to extend this impressive streak.
Slavia Prague, meanwhile, are still searching for their first victory of this Champions League campaign, and their chances of reaching the playoffs are fading fast with each passing round. The Czech side has three draws and two defeats to their name—far from enough to even contest a play-in spot. Their attacking woes are particularly glaring: Slavia have failed to score in their last four Champions League outings.
Despite their dominant domestic form, topping the Czech league with a comfortable gap over their nearest rivals, European nights have told a different story. Their last win in the continent’s premier competition dates back to 2007. History against Tottenham is also not on their side—no victories in four previous encounters.
Probable lineups
- Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Spence; Palhinha, Bergvall; Johnson, Simons, Odobert; Richarlison
- Slavia Prague: Stanek; Zima, Holes, Chaloupek; Doudera, Sadilek, Zafeiris, Boril; Schranz, Chytil, Provod
Match facts and head-to-head
- Tottenham are unbeaten at home in European matches for 22 consecutive games.
- Slavia have not won in the Champions League since September 2007—a run of 16 matches without victory.
- In the previous four meetings between these sides, Tottenham have claimed three wins and one draw.
Prediction
On home turf, Spurs look confident and highly motivated to progress to the next round. Given Slavia’s attacking struggles and their poor continental form, a convincing home win is the logical outcome. Tottenham have every chance not only to secure victory but to do so with a comfortable margin.
