Slavia Prague vs Slovan Liberec Prediction: Prague will keep their solid league record

Slavia Prague will host Slovan Liberec at Eden Arena in a round 17 encounter of the Czech Fortuna Liga. In their last league meeting, the visiting team secured a win. Can the visiting team, coming off a victory, turn the tables?

Slavia Prague

Slavia Prague's last encounter was against Fenerbahce in the Europa League, and they lost. In a home game, Slavia Prague took the lead in the 7th minute through Tomas Chory's strike; Edin Dzeko and Youssef En Nesyri's goals denied this team a point at full-time. However, Slavia Prague's last league encounter was against Ceske Budejovice, and they pulled off a 0-4 win. This season, Slavia Prague have 41 points from 15 league games, leaving them seated top of the Czech Fortuna Liga. 

Slovan Liberec

Slovan Liberec thrashed Sigma Olomouc the previous weekend and will hope to get a similar outcome. Slovan Liberec was up by two goals in that game before the break, with Denis Visinsky netting in each session. However, Ahmad Ghali extended Slovan Liberec's lead to three just two minutes into the second half before Visinsky completed his hat trick in the 73rd minute. Heading into this game, Slovan Liberec have two wins in their last five games, ending with a huge scoreline. However, the visiting team lost to Hlucin in a cup competition while drawing Ceske Budejovice and Hradec Kralove. 

Expert Betting Tips

Liberec will hope to lean on their last league game, drawing inspiration from that huge win. However, I feel Slavia Prague are on the right track in the league, and I do not expect them to drop points. While the home team is known for their prowess in attacking, a lot is expected from this side following a defeat in a European game. However, visiting Slovan Liberec have been a tough side to deal with in this fixture, but their overall performances this season have not convinced me they will compete in this game. I will back the home team into running riot on offence while failing to concede.
