Peter Olayinka says Slavia Prague is ready to book their place in the semi-finals of the Europa League after holding English club Arsenal to a 1-1 draw last week at the Emirate stadium.

Arsenal will travel to Slavia Prague’s Eden Arena this Thursday evening with both teams ready to fight for a place in the semi-finals.

Speaking with Lagos-based Brila FM ahead of the match, Olayinka said the boys are fired up for what looks to be the biggest game of their season.

“This is a big game for all of us, getting to the semi-finals is a big deal and for some of us this is a rare opportunity,” he noted

Interestingly, before the 1-1 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates stadium last week, Slavia Prague has eliminated two British teams in Leicester City and Glasgow Rangers.

The team did not taste defeat in three travels to Britain this season, winning two and drawing once, Olayinka however believed his side is built for difficult games.

“We’ve played several top games and are built for difficult opponents, what it looks like is that opposition players underrate us, maybe not their Managers, but the players,” Olayinka summed up.
