A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Sparta Praha fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Opava's 15th place in the table will show on the pitch.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sparta Praha and Opava.
Opava are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.
