A key match in Czech Liga as both teams are battling for the top positions. With Slavia Praha in 1st position and Viktoria Plzeň placed 2nd, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
The visiting Viktoria Plzeň played their last game only four days ago, a Czech Liga match. That game was also an away game, at Baník Ostrava. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Slavia Praha form and stats
12-1-0 is the performance here at Sinobo stadium so far in the Czech Liga, giving Slavia Praha a total of 37 from their 13 games here. Outstanding results!
Slavia are confident in defense, having played 280 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
A strong away win for Slavia against Pribram the last match, as Petar Musa were on target. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Jablonec in a game that was won 5-0.
The victory against Pribram came after Petar Musa's winning goal. The Slavia Praha manager J. Trpišovský was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 68th minute.
This is expected to be a close game, with Slavia Praha perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Slavia Praha as a small favourite), we find three games. Slavia Praha has won one of these, drawn one and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Slavia Praha as they are travelling to their away game against Baník Ostrava in the Czech Liga. That match is three days after this one.
Slavia are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (34 goals in 13 games). Defensively Slavia have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (3 in 13 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
