Czech Liga
The second-placed Sparta Prague has not given up on chasing the leader Slavia, from whom they are separated by seven points. The resumption of the season has been optimistic so far for Sparta, which has not conceded a goal in its four matches after the break. After three consecutive victories, they drew 0:0 away against Viktoria Plzen in the last round.
Banik Ostrava is experiencing a serious decline this season and is currently in 14th place out of 16 teams in the standings. In the last two rounds, they have not scored a goal, and from 12 away games so far, they have only won one. Recently, they have struggled to score as guests, failing to find the net in five of their last six visits in the championship.
Prediction: victory with a clean sheet for SpartaIt seems logical to expect a victory for Sparta in this match, but I will also add a clean sheet to it. Sparta has not conceded a goal yet in the new year, while Banik clearly struggles to score away, and so far all of their lost away games were without scoring. I believe this trend may continue here.
