Slavia Prague star Bah warns Arsenal: We weren't our best in first-leg

Slavia Prague attacker Alexander Bah insists they can beat Arsenal tonight.

Slavia host the Gunners in the second-leg of their Europa League semifinal with the aggregate score locked at 1-1.

Bah stated to Bold, "We learned that we have to be better on the ball, because we think Arsenal were a little too much on the ball. We know that they are good, but at the same time we feel that we should be able to withstand their pressure play with the ball and thus make them a little tired.

"We do not really think we played a particularly good match in London, so hopefully we can get better on all parameters and beat them now. The first match gave us at least 100 percent a sense that we can progress.

"It also says something about us that we did not play a pretty good match, but still got 1-1 against Arsenal. We are really confident."

He added: "I do not want to make us favourites against a team like Arsenal, but I think it is very 50-50. I think we have good chances. We play on our home field and have a good result in the bag, and then I know, as I said, that we can play much better than last time."
