St. Joseph’s vs. Slavia Prague: Preview and betting tips

Slavia Prague will enter the Conference League with a match against Gibraltar’s St. Joseph’s and is a huge favourite. What to bet on?

Sešívany lost the championship title last year after three years and will go into the new season with all the more vigour. The squad is well reinforced, Ewerton and Eduardo will probably fit into the starting line-up immediately, plus youngster Moses Usor may surprise.

The question still remains who will be the number one striker. Probably Václav Jurečka in closed defence, Yira Sor in open space. The Nigerian speedster shone in the European Cups in the spring, but we can’t expect open play from the midget from Gibraltar.

Moreover, Slavia will have a duel at Victoria Stadium, which has artificial grass, which is quite an inconvenience. However, Jindřich Trpišovský’s charges have to cope with it in order to make it through to the next round, where Panathinaikos awaits.

St. Joseph’s eliminated Northern Ireland’s Larne FC in the first round of the Conference League after a 0:0 opening draw and a 1:0 win in the return leg.

Slavia are huge favourites, with odds of 1.01 it is not worth betting on the Red and Whites to win at all. Given the difference between the two opponents, Slavia are likely to shoot a lot and I wouldn’t be afraid to bet on 4 goals.
