📏 Form Guide
Sparta Prague
LDLWLL
Sparta Prague won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 1-0 First League defeat in their last game at the hands of Viktoria Plzeň.
In that game, Sparta Prague managed 51% possession and 10 shots at goal with 1 on target. On the other side, Viktoria Plzen had 12 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Prince Kwabena Adu (30') was the scorer for Viktoria Plzeň.
It has not been often in recent times where Sparta Prague haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Sparta Prague have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 13 goals in the process.
Ahead of this clash, Sparta Prague haven't lost in the league to Baník Ostrava in their last 14 games. It's quite some record.
Baník Ostrava
DWWDLW
Baník Ostrava will go into this match after a 2-3 First League win to beat Pardubice in their last fixture.
For Baník Ostrava, the scorers were Filip Kubala (62'), Ewerton (72') and Matěj Šín (99'). Tomáš Zlatohlávek (15') and Vojtěch Patrák (74') scored for Pardubice.
Indicating their bias toward fruitful encounters, we’ve had goals 21 times in the prior six matches in which Baník Ostrava have taken to the field, yielding an average of 3.5 goals for each fixture. Opposing teams have got 10 of those goals. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be continued into this next game, of course.
Looking at their past form shows that Baník Ostrava:
- have left without a victory over Sparta Prague when they have played them away from home in the previous 10 matches in the league. An awful away record.
- haven't been defeated in their previous 5 league matches away from home.
👥 Head to head
Delving into their past head to head meetings going back to 23/04/2022 shows that these fixtures have been miserable for Baník Ostrava. They’ve not been able to register any victories whatsoever whereas Sparta Prague have simply been better than them, finishing as winners in 83 per cent of those matches played.
A sum of 20 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 14 of them for Železná Sparta and 6 belonging to Baníček. That is an average goals per game value of 3.33.
The previous league encounter featuring the two was First League match day 3 on 14/05/2024 and the score finished Sparta Prague 2-1 Baník Ostrava.
That time, Sparta Prague had 61% possession and 22 attempts at goal with 9 on target. Their only player on the scoresheet was Veljko Birmančević (30', 60').
For their opponents, Baník Ostrava got 8 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Michal Frydrych (54') was the scorer.
The referee was Ondřej Pechanec.
📰 Team News: Sparta Prague
Angelo Preciado (Knock), Imanol García de Albéniz (Knee injury), Indrit Tuci (unknown injury), Jaroslav Zelený (unknown injury) and Lukas Haraslin (Hamstring injury) won’t be able to feature for Sparta Prague boss Lars Friis.
🧠 Prediction
We feel that in this game, Sparta Prague can and should dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.
Conversely, Baník Ostrava may well struggle to make a breakthrough but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be being dangerous at times, too.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a controlled 3-1 win for Sparta Prague at full-time.
Our expert partners are tipping over 1.5 goals for this match. Check out their VIP predictions here.
