Slavia Prague – Lens Tip Champions League, Matchday 1 on Thursday, 10.09.2026 at 21:00 CET
My Slavia Prague tip for the opening matchday of the Champions League is that Florian Thauvin will continue his second spring. The attacker, who in my eyes was already massively underestimated in Marseille a few years ago, could still take RCL far despite his 33 years.
For the duel in Prague, I therefore speculate on a goal by Thauvin. The striker of the “Sang et Or” is in impressive form and has already scored four goals and one assist in the first four competitive games.
Oddset also offers very attractive odds of 3.50 for this. Thauvin acts as the undisputed linchpin of the French attack – his values for expected goals (xG) and shots on goal impressively underpin this status.
