Pre-match preview: Slavia Praha vs RC Lens

This is the opening match of the Champions League League Phase. Slavia Praha has home advantage and massive domestic momentum (17 points from 21). However, they carry the psychological weight of a nearly 20-year winless streak in this competition. Lens, despite a recent 1-0 loss to Lorient, has the individual quality of Thauvin and Edouard to punish European opponents.
