Watched Slavia Prague play in this competition a couple of years ago. They achieved the almost impossible by beating Sevilla over 2 legs. Sadly they've lost a few players since then but still deserve some respect. 

Only the very best teams do that

Not easy - they did spank the pride of Scotland 4-1 (twice).

Wrong team. That was Sparta Prague

Yep. Apologies . My mistake. Will still be tough though

[Hammo]

They beat Leverkusen 1-0 at home but that was only because Leverkusen went down to ten men in the first half. Last week they lost 4-1 in Germany.

 

Their manager idolises Juergen Klopp apparently and wears a cap ‘in tribute’.

 

All things being equal, we should be too strong for them.

This was the update I got:

 

UEFA Europa League Last 32 Draw: Man Utd Face Real Sociedad & Arsenal Get Benfica.

[Pliskin]

Winnable tie, we turn up and play properly we will win. 

[ealingfox]

Why do people honestly think we should be making headlines ahead of Manchester United and Arsenal? You're either being deliberately obtuse, or delusional. Who cares anyway?

[l444ry]

Very tricky tie. Slavia are top pf their league with 9 wins 2 draws 0 losses and 33-3 goal difference. 

[LCFCCHRIS]

Prefer us not to get headlines. Less pressure on the team..

[SemperEadem]

What a trip that could have been.

[Hales]

Let's just carry on quietly going about our business. The flying foxes will soon make the headlines 😉😏😁

[KrefelderFox666]

This is not a good draw, certainly not the worst but it's up there. They have so far given Leverkusen their only defeat of the season. However, we have the ability to get through and should be getting through on paper.

 

Personally this is 50/50 for me. If we turn up in both games then we should have enough for them. Vital we get a goal or two away.

'Cuz Arsenal are sh*t   *Checks to make sure the wife didn't see that*

[Nick]

They are apparently 5 points clear and unbeaten in their League...

 

May be tough?

Slavia Prague are a good team

No, but the article had all the British ties including Rangers, except ours. Just poor reporting and disrespectful. 

[An Away Move]

I’ll never take progressing in a cup for granted again after thinking we pretty much had a bye to the next round when we drew Wycombe Wanderers 🤦🏻‍♂️ 

[Fightforever]

If it wasn't for lockdown we could have been to the quarry stadium in portugal,Greece, a warzone and Prague. Covid is a bitch

[Deeg67]

They’re good.  Not the absolute toughest draw we could have gotten but far from the easiest.

 

Worth noting they’ll be so far ahead in their domestic league by then that there’ll be no thought given to squad rotation - they’ll hit us with everything they have.

[LVFox]

Tricky tie, will be tough at their place, but I think we are really nicely set up for 2 legged ties.

We are rightly favourites but see them being a similar level to Braga.

They are a team from the Czech Republic, absolute pig farmers. We will batter them.
