Slavia hosts Bilbao in Champions League match on Tuesday

Slavia Prague will host Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday evening as the Champions League league phase reaches its second half. Slavia have earned only two points in the tournament so far — draws with Bodø/Glimt and Atalanta — while Bilbao sit one point ahead, having won against Qarabağ (Azerbaijan).

In their last match last October, the Czech side lost 0-1 in Bilbao despite outshooting their opponents. Slavia coach Jindřich Trpišovský says Bilbao play a "classic Spanish style": they want possession, combine quickly, and maintain strong structure.
