And this season it seems that Pardubice will struggle not to relegate. After the first two rounds, they found themselves at the bottom of the standings after two losses. They started with a heavy one after a 1:5 loss at home to Viktoria Plzen, followed by a 1:2 loss as a guest to Liberec. Now they host Sparta, against whom they have suffered eight consecutive losses.
Sparta Prague did not have a good last season, which ended with quite a few losses. The new campaign started with a draw as a guest at Jablonec, followed by a loss as a guest at Astana in the Conference League. However, they managed to advance in the tournament after convincingly winning 4:0 at home in the rematch on Thursday. They also won at home against Mlada Boleslav with 3:2 before that, and now they will try to secure their first away win.
Prediction: over 2.5 goalsPardubice is expected to suffer another loss to Sparta Prague, but it seems to me that over 2.5 goals is also a good option, as it regularly happens in matches between the two teams.
