It's early days in the Fortuna Liga and both Mladá Boleslav and České Budějovice are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

České Budějovice form and stats
Things could have gone better for České Budějovice in their Fortuna Liga away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. Two points from the last two away games for České Budějovice, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
Budějovice have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 232 minutes ago. L. Matejka was the goal scorer.
Budějovice has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Opava for a Fortuna Liga game that ended a draw (0-0). A loss against Slovan Liberec was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Budějovice are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and one defeat. From a total of four matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Budějovice manager D. Horejs as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Usti nad Orlici.
2 goals so far away for České Budějovice, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.
