On Tuesday night, the Czech Republic’s Synot Liga continues as Slovacko host Sigma Olomouc, with both teams needing points in the fight for spots in the Championship group.
The home side are enjoying a promising campaign and are currently in the Championship group. However, they are only a point clear of the two teams just below them, Slovan Liberec and Ceske Budejovice.
It is a slightly different story for the visitors, who are looking slightly nervously at the relegation group. They are just five points clear of the bottom six.
However, such is the tight nature of the table, they are also only five points behind the hosts in the race for the top-six spots.
Before the enforced break in the league campaign, Slovacko were in underwhelming form, as they head into this clash on the back of just one win in their last four league matches. Those four games were tight affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in all of them.
Slovacko have been a tough nut to crack on home soil in the Czech top-flight, as they have lost just once in their last ten league matches. They have also won four of their last six home matches in the Synot Liga.
Like the hosts, the visitors recent league form has been highly inconsistent. They head into this clash on the back of just one defeat in their last eight matches in the top-flight. However, a record of just three wins in 15 league matches is probably why the visitors are not further up the league table this season.
Their recent matches have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last nine games.
Forebet predicts that this game will end in a low-scoring draw, which judging by both teams’ recent results is not a major surprise.
