Slavia Prague vs. Arsenal: Head-to-head record and past meetings

 


Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 5

Draws: 2

Arsenal wins: 3

Clashing in both the Champions League and Europa League during the 21st century, Slavia Prague and Arsenal have met five times down the years, and the Gunners are unsurprisingly unbeaten against their less revered foes.

The Premier League giants have claimed three wins and two draws against their Czech opponents, most recently strolling to a 3-0 victory in the 2025-26 UCL league phase thanks to Mikel Merino's brace and a bukayo Saka penalty.

During the 2020-21 Europa League quarter-finals, Mikel Arteta's side had been held to a frustrating 1-1 stalemate on Emirates soil in the first leg, but the Gunners ran riot at an empty Fortuna Arena just seven days later, as Nicolas Pepe, Alexandre Lacazette (2) and Bukayo Saka all struck to send Arsenal through to the semis.

That particular game was also remembered for a poignant pre-kickoff photo, as Lacazette took the knee in front of a Slavia team standing arm-in-arm, just one day after the Czech club's defender Ondrej Kudela was given a 10-game ban for racially abusing then-Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara.

Fourteen years earlier, Arsenal and Slavia Prague crossed paths for the first time in the group stage of the 2007-08 Champions League, where Arsene Wenger's men subjected the Slavists to a seven-goal slaughter at the Emirates.

The clubs' inaugural meeting in October 2007 saw Cesc Fabregas and Theo Walcott both score twice, while Nicklas Bendtner and Aleksandr Hleb also got in on the act alongside a David Hubacek own goal, and that 7-0 win remains their joint-biggest in any European competition.

Wenger's troops could not follow up that record-equalling victory away from home, though, labouring to a goalless draw on Slavia's turf in November 2007, before progressing to that season's quarter-finals.

Having also navigated six games against Sparta Prague without losing, Arsenal are unbeaten in all 11 of their previous meetings with Czech sides, whereas Slavia Prague have won just two of their 16 battles against English outfits.
