With their 14 point advantage in the league table, Slovácko fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Karviná.
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.
Karviná are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Slovácko form and stats
Slovácko have played 12 Czech Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-4-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Slovácko faced defeat in their previous match, away at Slovan Liberec (1-3). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Sigma Olomouc.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Slovácko's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn two and lost zero.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Slovácko as they are travelling to their away game against Opava in the Czech Liga. That match is four days after this one.
Slovácko are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 12 games. Slovácko are not conceding a lot of goals here at Městský fotbalový stadion Miroslava Valenty in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 12 matches.
Karviná form and stats

The manager J. Jarábek was unhappy after their last game, a Czech Liga match played at their home ground Městský Stadión. Karviná suffered a 1-4 loss to Sparta Praha (placed 6th). Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Opava.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.
