Pardubice
LLLLLD 📉
Pardubice go into this game following a 0-0 First League drawn match versus Viktoria Plzeň.
In that game, Pardubice managed 34% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. For their opponents, Viktoria Plzen had 18 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target.
It has not been often in recent times that Pardubice have kept a clean sheet. In fact, Pardubice have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 14 goals in the process.
Coming into this clash, Pardubice haven’t won at home in the past 6 league games. That's never good.
Dukla Prague
LDDLDD 📉
In the game prior to this, Dukla Prague drew 1-1 in the First League tie with Teplice.
In that game, Dukla Prague managed 38% possession and 5 attempts on goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Dukla Prague was Jakub Řezníček (32'). For their opponents, Teplice got 14 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Michal Bílek (95') scored for Teplice.
It has become apparent that Dukla Prague have had real problems scoring goals over their last six games, contributing the disappointing return of only 4. In those fixtures, Vojáci have also seen the collective goal aggregate of their opponents equal 7. Regardless, we’ll just have to find out if such a trend will continue on in this match or not.
Looking at their past form shows that Dukla Prague:
- haven't been defeated in their previous 3 league matches away from home.
- are without a win away from home in their last 21 league games. What a horror away run it has been.

Team News: Dukla Prague
Thanks to a largely full-strength group, there is just the sole fitness problem for the Dukla Prague manager Petr Rada to be concerned about. Roman Holis (Hamstring injury) won’t be playing here.

Prediction
Our thinking is that Dukla Prague will have to play well to hit the back of the net against this Pardubice side who we think might well gain the upper hand.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 winning margin for Pardubice when the referee blows for full-time.
Little in this one.
