Slavia Prague will welcome LASK to the Sinobo Stadium for the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League round-of-16 tie on Thursday.
The hosts come into the game on the back of a 2-0 victory over city rivals Sparta Prague on Sunday. Ondrej Lingr and Ivan Schranz scored in either half to guide their side to the win.
LASK fell to a 1-0 defeat away to Wolfsberger AC in the Austrian Bundesliga on the same day. Thorsten Rocher's 52nd-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides in a game that also saw two goals disallowed by VAR for the hosts.
The Austrians secured their spot in this round courtesy of their first-place finish in Group A last year.
Slavia Prague saw off Fenerbahce in an entertaining tie that ended in a 6-4 aggregate victory for the Czechs. They won both legs 3-2 to extend their participation on the continent this term.

Slavia Prague vs LASK Prediction
Slavia Prague are exceptionally formidable on their own turf and come into this game as strong favorites against LASK. The visitors might have impressively topped their group back in December but their recent poor run does not suggest they can perform at the standards expected here.
The visitors are looking to make it to the quarterfinals of European football for the first time in their history but we are backing Slavia Prague to secure a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Slavia Prague 3-0 LASK
