Slovacko vs Sparta Prague Prediction: Prague confident of a decent start this year

In round 20 of the Czech Fortuna Liga, Slovacko will host Sparta Prague at Městský fotbalový stadion Miroslava Valenty. How will these teams approach this fixture? Below, I preview this fixture and make predictions. 

Slovacko

Slovacko's last encounter was against Gostivar in a friendly fixture which they won. In a game that ended 0-4, goals from Jiri Klima, Stanislav Hofmann, and Michael Krmencik were enough to see this team secure a win. However, this team has won three of their last five matches, with two against Trencin and Slovan Ljubljana. This season, Slovacko have 25 points from their first 19 league matches. In those games, Slovacko scored 18 goals and conceded 26, as they sit 9th in the standings.

Sparta Prague

Sparta Prague's last encounter was in the UEFA Champions League which they lost to Bayer Leverkusen. In a game that ended 2-0, Floriant Wirtz and Nathan Tella's strike was enough to secure a win for their opponent. In the meantime, Sparta Prague have lost two of their last five matches, with one against Inter Milan. Away from home, Sparta Prague have only one win in their last five matches. This season, the visiting team has 37 points from 19 matches which positions them third.

Expert Betting Tips

Slovacko might be at home, but I have no confidence in them. Looking at the quality of these two sides, it is clear Sparta Prague are the better team. This should be a very close contest between them, especially with Sparta Prague not dominant before the end of the previous year. Yet, I feel the visiting team will get things right this time, and while we expect a very close defensive game, a bet on a few goals is a good option.

My first option is a win for Sparta Prague with odds at 1.74 on 1Xbet

My second option is under 2.5 goals with odds at 1.90 on Bet365

My last option is both teams scoring no with odds at 1.90 on Betway
