Let’s start with the most important thing. Here is an overview of the Czech clubs’ cup matches this week:
- Wednesday 21:00: Pafos – Slavia, Nova Sport 3, Champions League
- Thursday 21:00: Basel – Pilsen, Nova Sport 5, European League
Paphos – Slavia, Nova Sport 3, Wednesday 21:00
After seven matches in the Champions League, Slavia has three points from three draws and is thus without hope of promotion before the last round of the league phase. But he still goes to Cyprus with the motivation to get his first victory under the leadership of Jindřich Trpišovský in the Champions League. Of course, the stitchers also play for prestige, money (for each point earned there is a bonus of 700,000 euros, i.e. 17 million crowns) and points for the coefficient.
In the event of a win, Pafos will reach nine points, with which they can theoretically advance. The Cypriot team will go into the match against Slavia with great motivation to immediately turn their first participation in the Champions League into a promotion to the playoffs. Paphos beat Villareal 1:0 at home in early November and have three draws (0:0 at Olympiakos, 0:0 at Kajrat and 2:2 at home with Monaco). He is currently out of form, having lost three competitive games in a row, two in the Cypriot league and in the Champions League, most recently 0-1 at Chelsea.
