Match Facts

  • Slavia Prague and Athletic Club will meet for the second time in Europe, with their previous clash coming just last season in the UEFA Europa League: a 1-0 home win for Athletic.

  • Slavia Prague have only won one of their 13 meetings with Spanish teams in major European competition (D6 L6), beating Sevilla 4-3 at home in the UEFA Europa League in March 2019.

  • Athletic Club have only lost one of their four games against opponents from Czechia in European competition (W2 D1), although that defeat did come in their only away match of the four: a 1-3 defeat to Sparta Prague in October 2012 in the UEFA Europa League, under Marcelo Bielsa.

  • Slavia Prague will be looking for their first win in major European competition since beating Ludogorets in Bulgaria in the UEFA Europa League in September 2024 (2-0). Since then, they are winless in 11 matches (D4 L7) and have conceded at least two goals in seven of their last eight.

  • Athletic Club are winless in their six away games in major European competition in 2025 (D1 L5). They last went seven without a win between December 1985 and December 1994, when they lost eight in a row in the UEFA Cup.

  • Ernesto Valverde’s Athletic Club have lost three of their four games in the UEFA Champions League this season (L1). Prior to the 2025-26 campaign, Valverde was unbeaten in 20 straight games in the group/league phase of the competition (W14 D6).

  • The ball has only been in play for 50.2% of Slavia Prague’s total match time in the UEFA Champions League this season; the lowest percentage by any team. Indeed, they also have the lowest share of ball-in-play time in the second half (48.3%).

  • Athletic Club have handed 15 starts to players aged 23 or younger in the UEFA Champions League this season, already their joint-most in a single edition (level with 15 in 1998-99).

  • Slavia Prague’s Vasil Kusej is one of only four players with at least ten created chances and no assists in the UEFA Champions League this season (10), along with Kylian Mbappé (16), Lee Kang-In (12) and Jens Petter Hauge (11).

  • Athletic Club’s Aitor Paredes leads all centre backs in the UEFA Champions League this season for both interceptions (11) and possession won (25), although he has been booked in both of his away games in the competition so far (v Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle).
