In four out of five home games so far, Sparta have had over 2.5 goals and goals at both ends.
Banik is not doing badly and is in fourth position, so they are definitely not to be written off. In their last 9 matches in all competitions, they only lost at home to Viktoria Plzen. They won 3:2 against Pardubice in their last visit in the championship. They have struggled in their last seven away games against Sparta for the championship, although they did not win any of them.
Prediction: Both teams to scoreSparta Prague does not look in good form and needs to catch up if they do not want to fall further behind. However, Banik is definitely not to be underestimated and seems capable of scoring again in this away game, especially since Sparta has been conceding goals even at home since the beginning of the season.
