Karvina vs Jablonec Prediction: Expect an offensive performance from the two teams

Městský stadion Karviná will host the Czech First League encounter between Karvina and Jablonec. The last time out, the two teams could only settle for a draw. Will either side return to winning ways?

Karvina was held to a goalless draw last time out, the second time in a row after Ostrava's game in week 3. Last time out, Karvina played Dukla Prague at home, and they did dominate with 73 percent of the possession, 21 attempts, and five on goal, which they failed to convert. Heading into this game, Karvina have not lost any of their last three matches but picked up a win only once, coming against Teplice. In the league this season, the home team has 8 points from 7 games, leaving them seated in the 12th spot. 

Jablonec's last league encounter was against Slovacko, and this team was held to a goalless draw. In that encounter, Jablonec had half of the possession, attempting nine shots with four on targets, which they could not convert. In the meantime, this team's recent matches have ended with only one defeat, a 1-2 loss to Sparta Prague. However, other games saw this team defeat Dukla Prague and Bohemians while holding Viktoria Plzen to a goalless draw. Heading into this game, week 9, Jablonec has 11 points from seven matches, leaving them seated 4th in the standings. 

After poor offensive performances in their last matches, the two teams are expected to do well offensively. The home team has not lost any matches recently, while the visiting team has been decent in recent games. I expect the two teams are strong here, especially in offense; hence, a bet on goals. Also, while the visiting team has been the better side, I expect them to win this game at full time.
