České Budějovice have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. Budějovice have conceded 17 from these games.
Sparta Praha form and stats
Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Sparta Praha so far, with 8-1-1 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Fortuna Liga statistics. The fact that Sparta have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Sparta have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Sparta Praha goalkeeper Florin Constantin Nita is eager to challenge this, with his 187 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
The supporters enjoyed Sparta's previous game versus Baník Ostrava (placed 7th), a Czech Cup 1-0 win played at home. A home win before that, celebrating 4-0 vs Pribram.
Sparta create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 25 goals in 10 travels. As opposed to that, Sparta Praha have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
