Slovacko vs Sparta Prague Prediction: League leaders can’t afford to drop points

Slovacko is set to face Sparta Prague at Městský fotbalový Stadion Miroslava Valenty in the Czech Fortuna Liga. The hosts are coming off consecutive league defeats, while Sparta Prague secured a victory against Liberec last weekend.

Slovácko is eager for a better outcome in their upcoming match following a 2-1 First League loss against Zlín. In that game, Slovácko held 40% possession and made 4 attempts at goal, with 1 on target. Pavel Juroška (4') was the sole scorer for FC Slovácko, while Zlin had 17 attempts at goal, with Tom Slončík (72') and Vukadin Vukadinović (80') finding the net. Slovácko has been consistent in scoring goals, registering at least one in each of their last 6 games, totaling 11, while conceding 7.

As they approach the upcoming fixture, Slovácko has been unable to secure a win against Sparta Prague in their previous 4 league encounters.

Sparta Prague heads into the upcoming match on the back of a 2-1 First League victory over Liberec in their last game. During that match, Sparta Prague held 61% possession and attempted 20 shots on goal, with 8 on target. Lukáš Haraslín (47') and Victor Olatunji (49') were the goalscorers for Sparta Prague, while Filip Horský (68') scored for Liberec, who had 15 shots on goal, with 7 on target.

In the last 6 games involving Sparta Prague, three or more goals have been scored in each match, averaging 3.5 goals per game. Sparta Prague has scored an average of 2.5 goals per match during this period. Leading up to the upcoming clash, Sparta Prague has been winless against Slovácko in away games for the last 3 league matches. However, they have remained unbeaten in the last 2 league matches when playing Slovácko away from home and are also undefeated in their previous 3 away league matches.

Both teams have a favorable opportunity in this upcoming match, and considering the close winning odds, it appears to be a tightly contested game. However, it's challenging to bet against the league leaders, especially with Slovacko facing consecutive struggles. Analyzing their previous encounters, it seems this match could be a low-scoring affair, leaning slightly towards the visitors.
