A victory to the home team is anticipated from this game if the league table is to be believed. The Sparta Praha club members are confident that the contrast between 3rd and Bohemians 1905's 11th position in the table will be revealed on the arena.

Insights:
  • Sparta Praha have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Bohemians 1905 have the most conceded goals in the second half (28) in Fortuna Liga

Only a few days to rest for the hosts, as they were involved in a Europa League match only three days earlier. Thankfully the previous game, versus Brøndby, was also a home game. The away team is better rested.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Bohemians 1905 form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bohemians 1905 so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-6 (win-draw-lose). A depressing five defeats in a row for Bohemians in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Zlin.

Home advantage was not enough for Bohemians in their previous game, as they lost their Fortuna Liga-match, hosting Jablonec, 1-2.

A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Karvina.

With the hosting team given a victory probability of around 80% by the bookmakers, any favourable result for the visitors would be an eye-opener.

The outsiders lost zero of these fixtures by at least two goals.
