LASK vs Slavia Prague Prediction
Sparta Prague are the more traditional side and their three-goal advantage gives them an extra cushion in the game. The visitors are unlikely to go all out in attack and would rather bid their time to exploit the spaces left by LASK.
The hosts, by contrast, are in need of at least three goals but might not have the wherwithal to get the job done. We are backing Slavia Prague to secure a narrow victory with goals to be scored at both ends.
Prediction: LASK 1-2 Slavia Prague
