ℹ️ Team News: Pardubice

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just one fitness concern for the Pardubice gaffer Jiří Saňák to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Jan Kalabiska (Broken fibula) won’t play.

Thanks to a largely healthy group, there is just the lone fitness worry for the Sigma Olomouc manager Tomáš Janotka to be concerned with. Antonin Rusek (Back injury) won’t be playing here.

✨ Prediction

We feel that Pardubice will have to perform well to put one past this Sigma Olomouc lineup who we reckon should manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

We’re therefore predicting a very even contest with a 0-1 winning margin for Sigma Olomouc when the full-time whistle blows.

Hopefully it’s a good one.
