An important duel in the bottom section of the Czech Liga, with both Zlín and Opava experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 13th and the visitors in 15th place.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
For Zlín relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Opava are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.
Zlín form and stats
Zlín, who have the most conceded goals (20) at home in Czech Liga, have collected 20 points from their Czech Liga home games so far after 6-2-7.
Stress levels are on the rise for Zlín's attacking players as they have now played 231 minutes without scoring in a league game. T. Poznar was their last goal scorer.
No payout for Zlín in their previous match, an away game at Slavia Praha that ended in defeat 0-1. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Viktoria Plzen (0-3).
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 Zlín's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won one match, drawn zero and lost one.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Zlín as they have a new game in only three days, a Czech Liga match thankfully also at home. Pribram are visiting.
The Zlín fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 15 matches. 20 goals have been conceded.
Opava form and stats
Opava have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Czech Liga, after 1-4-10 (15 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Opava have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 14 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Ceske Budejovice game.
Filip Souček and Bojan Dordic scored in Opava's previous match, the home game against Ceske Budejovice that ended 2-0. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Sparta Praha's place.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Opava when being an outsider away as they are today, we find five matches with the visitors losing three times, drawing two and winning zero games.
Opava has another fixture away, a Czech Liga game, against Karviná in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Goals are few and far between in Opava's away league games. Only 6 goals from 15 travels. The Opava manager A. Skácel has some worries about the defense as 30 goals have been conceded in these travels.
