Slavia Prague vs Jablonec Prediction: Competitive encounter expected at Fortuna Arena

In round 26 of the Czech Fortuna Liga, Slavia Prague will play Jablonec in the round 26 contest. The two teams last meeting ended in a win for Slavia Prague on the road. Can Jablonec, following a decent run of games, get things right? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions. 

Slavia Prague

Slavia Prague were on the road against Sparta Prague the previous weekend and they lost. In that encounter, Mojmir Chytil's red card in the 27th minute was the highlight. However, Slavia Prague's two strikes within six minutes in the second half were enough to see their opponent take maximum points. In the meantime, prior encounters to that defeat saw this team go unbeaten in six games, defeating Ostrava, Plzen, Bohemians, Taborsko, Mlada Boleslav and FK Pardubice.

Jablonec

Jablonec played Hradec Kralove in their last game and they won. In a 1-2 contest, Nemanja Tekijaski and Jan Suchan's strikes were enough to see this team take maximum points. In the meantime, Jablonec have gone unbeaten in their last six matches with just one defeat in their last eleven, coming against Bohemians. In other encounters, this team defeated Polissya Zhytomyr, Ceske Budejovice, Karvina, Slovacko, and Pribram, while settling for draws with Sanfrecce Hiroshima, Slovan Liberec and Hradec Kralove.

Expert Betting Tips

Slavia Prague were a good side and their last defeat can be said to be a reason for the early red card. However, Jablonec are playing so well at the moment and it is just impossible to write them off. Expect a close contest as the two teams are in a good position to win. Yet, a bet on both teams looks good, as I expect Slavia Prague to win.
