The Slovan Liberec & České Budějovice managers P. Hoftych and D. Horejs are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Fortuna Liga league table.
- Slovan Liberec has the fewest points from losing position (0) in Fortuna Liga
- České Budějovice have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Czech Cup. Thankfully the previous game, versus Viktoria Zizkov, was also a home game here at Stadion u Nisy. The away team is better rested.
