Opava form and stats

Opava's results here at Stadion v Městských sadech in the Fortuna Liga have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Mladá Boleslav.

The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Sparta Praha to win. Let's see if Opava are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: two games found revealing zero Opava wins, one draw and one defeat.

The manager R. Kováč will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bohemians 1905 in only four days.

Opava has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Opava with 13 goals conceded in these matches.

Sparta Praha form and stats

The strength of Sparta Praha, who have the most points (15) away in Fortuna Liga, on their travels this season is incredible with 15 points collected from 6 Fortuna Liga away games. Sparta Praha has 5-0-1 on the road, with 16 goals scored and 8 conceded. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Sparta Praha, as they have won on their previous two travels.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Slovacko.

As mentioned earlier, Sparta will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in one win (one by two or more goals winning margin), zero draws and zero surprising defeats.

After this away game Sparta return home for a Fortuna Liga game against Slovan Liberec. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 16 goals in 6 league games away this season. As opposed to that, Sparta have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last five meetings): Opava won zero games, one match ended with a draw and Sparta Praha has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / four
