Sabah host Slavia Prague at Bakı Olimpiya Stadionu on Tuesday, October 13 (12:45 PM ET / 11:45 AM CT / 9:45 AM PT).
Sabah have no fresh fitness concerns heading into this one, with Veljko Simić pulling the strings from midfield after six goals and six chances created already this term, and Joy-Lance Mickels leading the line having fired twenty-five shots with eight on target. Slavia Prague also have a clean bill of health, with Danijel Šturm pushed into the final third after scoring twice in their most recent outing against Lens, and Michal Sadílek expected to marshal the midfield engine room.
Sabah have shown they can be undone on the road, losing 4-0 at Manchester United and 2-1 at both Hapoel Be’er Sheva and AGF, but they also found 5 goals at home in extra time against Hapoel. Slavia shipped 3 in their 2-3 loss to Lens even with Šturm getting both goals, the kind of exchange that points to goals at both ends again here — enough, on balance, to see Sabah’s firepower through Simić and Mickels get the better of it at home.

- Veljko Simić (Sabah): Six goals and six chances created from midfield make Simić Sabah’s chief creative and goal threat.
- Joy-Lance Mickels (Sabah): Twenty-five shots and eight on target show Mickels is rarely short of a sighter at goal, converting four of those chances.

Sabah vs Slavia Prague Prediction
Sabah head into this one on a goal difference of -four after their opening league defeat, but they have shown more than enough quality going forward through Simić and Mickels to turn that around at home. Slavia Prague’s only confirmed form from Lens suggests they will not sit back either, with Šturm already proving he can find the net when the game opens up. We’re backing the hosts to edge a lively contest 2-1.
