Only a win will satisfy the Slovácko supporters in this Městský fotbalový stadion Miroslava Valenty clash with Zlín, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Fortuna Liga table.

Insights:
  • Slovácko have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Zlín have scored away.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Zlín is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
