České Budějovice and Sigma Olomouc have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Czech Liga.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Sigma Olomouc are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

České Budějovice form and stats

The story so far in the Czech Liga for České Budějovice at their home stadium (Fotbalový stadion Střelecký ostrov) is 6 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Budějovice with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Zlin game, 101 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The České Budějovice manager D. Horejs might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

In their previous game, the manager D. Horejs led his Budějovice to a defeat in the Czech Liga match away at Bohemians 1905. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Fotbalový stadion Střelecký ostrov. Preceding that match was a defeat to Slovan Liberec (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with České Budějovice perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Budějovice as a small favourite), we find five games. České Budějovice has won four of these, drawn zero and lost one.

Budějovice are traveling soon after this match as the Czech Liga match at Karviná awaits in four days.

The České Budějovice fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 13 matches. České Budějovice have conceded 15 in these home matches.

Sigma Olomouc form and stats

There's been little loot from Sigma Olomouc's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 13 away games in the Czech Liga. Sigma Olomouc only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 6 draws.

Olomouc's previous game was their home loss versus Pribram (1-2). Before that, Sigma Olomouc travelled to Slovácko and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sigma Olomouc playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Olomouc wins, two draws and five defeats.

A new game in only four days for Olomouc, the Czech Liga home match versus Banik Ostrava. Busy days.

Olomouc are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 16 away goals from 13 games (in the league). 19 goals have been conceded by Sigma Olomouc in these games.
