Opava form and stats

All-inclusive 2. Liga FNL results at home this season for Opava are 2-4-0 (wins-draws-losses).

Opava's last game was hosting Viktoria Zizkov (placed 15th) and winning 6-1. As mentioned above, Opava "killed" Viktoria Zizkov in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. D. Kramar was absolutely essential when Opava beat Viktoria Zizkov 6-1, scoring four goals.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Pribram.

This is expected to be a close game, with Opava perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Opava as a small favourite), we find nine games. Opava has won one of these, drawn four and lost four.

The Opava manager R. West has got the team scoring with 12 from 6 home games in the league. 6 goals have been conceded.

M. Vitík, F. Šilhart, I. Gelashvili, M. Ryneš and M. Suchomel scored in Sparta's previous match, the home game against Dukla Praha that ended 5-1. As mentioned above, Sparta was the only team on the pitch versus Dukla Praha in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.

Before that, Sparta travelled to Vysocina Jihlava and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sparta Praha II playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were two Sparta wins, two draws and zero defeats.
