Celtic vs Rangers Prediction: A must win encounter for the two teams

At the Municipal Stadium in Ostrava, Ostrava will play Mlada Boleslav in a week 32 encounter of the Czech Fortuna Liga. Both teams are coming off a defeat in their last weekend game. How will this one end?

Ostrava

Ostrava are coming off a 5-0 defeat at the hands of Slavia Prague in a league road game. However, prior encounters to that defeat saw Ostrava lose to Sparta Prague while they played to draws with Karvina and Liberec. Ostrava's last league win was against Jablonec in early April in a game that ended 2-3 on the road. In those matches, Ostrava scored ten goals while conceding 15. This season, Ostrava have a total of 45 points, positioning them 4th in the standings.

Mlada Boleslav

Mlada Boleslav are coming off a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Viktoria Plzen. However, looking at this team's recent games, Mlada Boleslav have recorded just one win, coming against FK Pardubice in a game that ended 1-2. However, other encounters in that span ended in Teplice's defeat, as they drew Sparta Prague and Jablonec. Mlada Boleslav could only score five goals in those encounters while conceding five. This season, Mlada Boleslav accumulated 44 points from 31 league games, positioning them 5th in the standings.

Expert Betting Tips

The two teams are in poor form, with just one win in recent games. However, this fixture will give them a good chance to get to winning ways, and we can surely expect this game to be competitive. Both teams are not on that side now and will need a lot to give here. While I do not trust the visiting Mlada Boleslav, Ostrava are not playing well either. In the meantime, a notable fact in their recent games is that goals are not expected to be different due to the two teams' poor defense line. Also, Ostrava have had more luck in this fixture, and while they are at home here, we can expect them to be at their best and win.
