Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Slovan Velvary & Baník Ostrava face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Czech Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Slovan Velvary and Baník Ostrava.
Slovan Velvary form and stats
Velvary have not come this way in the Czech Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Pardubice and Pencin-Turnov. Last season their Czech Cup adventure ended in the 3rd round.A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Slovan Velvary, who played 2-2 against Sokol Zivanice. That match was also played at this venue (Stadion TJ Slovan Velvary). A disappointing finish for Velvary in their match versus Sokol Zivanice as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.
Before that match, a 3. Liga CFL win away at Pardubice II.Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Slovan Velvary have been in this position before, they have won 1, drawn 0 and lost 3 from 4 games. 2 defeats by at least two goals.
There will be little rest for Velvary after this match as they are travelling to Sokol Zápy for a 3. Liga CFL game in only four days.
Baník Ostrava form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Hanacka in order to reach 3rd round of Czech Cup. Last season their Czech Cup adventure ended in the round of 16.0 wins, 5 draws and 0 losses. That’s the product of Baník Ostrava playing as the away team in the Czech Liga this season.
Baník Ostrava are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the match against Slovácko.
A 0-0 draw at Slovan Liberec's stadium before that.The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Czech Liga trip to Viktoria Plzeň.
It's early days yet, but Baník Ostrava has scored 5 and conceded 5 goals from their travels in the league so far (5 games).
