Jablonec vs Teplice Prediction: Both sides expected to score

Stadion Střelnice is set to host the round 17 Czech Fortuna Liga match between Jablonec and Teplice. Both teams have faced challenges in the current season leading up to this encounter. Let's delve into the match previews and make a prediction.

Jablonec is seeking to replicate their recent success, having secured a 2-1 victory over Pardubice in the First League. Miloš Kratochvíl (36', 75') was the sole scorer for Baumit Jablonec, while Tomáš Zlatohlávek (12') found the net for Pardubice. In recent games, defensive solidity has not been a consistent feature for Baumit Jablonec. They have conceded goals in 5 of their last 6 matches, totaling 7 goals against them during that period. Leading up to this fixture, Baumit Jablonec has not secured a victory against Teplice in their last 2 league encounters. However, they are undefeated in their last 2 home league matches.

In their recent fixture, Teplice played to a 1-1 draw in the First League match against Bohemians. Teplice maintained 42% possession, attempted 16 shots on goal, with 7 on target. Štěpán Chaloupek (20') was the goal scorer for Teplice, while Matyáš Kozák (87') found the net for Bohemians. Over the last 6 games involving Teplice, there has been a relatively low goal count, averaging 1.33 goals per game. Teplice, during this period, averaged 0.5 goals per game.

Both teams have demonstrated goal-scoring ability in their recent matches, and for this upcoming game, an offensive performance is anticipated from both sides. Considering the home team's favorable position and their ongoing unbeaten streak, I am inclined to support them for a victory in this match.
