On Wednesday, Slavia Prague and Union SG will play the first leg of their third qualifying round match, with the winner vying for a valuable Champions League spot.
They are now just two steps away from the newly designed group stage, having both finished second in their respective domestic leagues the previous season.
Head-to-Head
Slavia Prague and Union St. Gilloise will be meeting for the first time at this event. Though they are returning for the first time since 2021, Slavia Prague has considerable experience at this stage of the Champions League. Their first appearance in this year’s competition will be on Wednesday as they got a bye in the previous stages. Union St. Gilloise has only ever made one Champions League appearance, losing in the qualifying round back in 2022. They also received a bye in the previous rounds, much like Slavia Prague.

After leading the Czech First League in scoring the previous two seasons with 19, Vaclav Jurecka has not played a minute this season because of a contract dispute.
Additionally, Preston North End has expressed a great interest in Norwegian midfielder Conrad Wallem. Nevertheless, Wallem is expected to be included in the team and may work in the engine room alongside Liberia captain Oscar Dorley.
After scoring once more on Friday, Cameron Puertas, who led Union SG in goals scored during their most recent European season (2023–24), is expected to start in front of Dennis Eckert.
Due to injuries, both English defenders Ross Sykes and Christian Burgess will be absent for the visitors on Wednesday. Additionally, Madagascar midfielder Loic Lapoussin is out of the game as he recently requested a move.

Tip: Under 2.5 Goals❌
Reason
Compared to its guests, Slavia Prague brings more European experience to the table. But their defensive tenacity is their greatest asset. They have won twice in three games this season and have not let up a goal.
They also performed well in Europe the previous season because to a potent defense. Conversely, Union Saint-Gilloise hasn’t had much success keeping a clean sheet when playing competitive away from home.

Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
