Mlada Boleslav vs Hradec Kralove Prediction: Battle of European spot will be tough

Mlada Boleslav and Hradec Kralove will battle it out for a conference league spot at Městský stadion Mladá Boleslav. Heading into this game, the odds of winning are competitively close. Which team will book their spot?

Mlada Boleslav will put their heads up in this encounter, having had a disappointing run of games until this stage of the competition. Mlada Boleslav failed to secure a single win or pick a point in their last three games. In that run, Mlada Boleslav played Slovacko, Sparta Prague and Slavia Prague. This side conceded a total of ten goals in that run of games while failing to score a single one. In the league standings, Mlada Boleslav finished 5th in the champions group with 47 points, netting 51 times while conceding 59. 

Hradec Kralove had a strong run of performances in the conference group and will now have a chance to play in Europe next season, provided they win this game. Last time against Teplice, this team secured a 2-0 win, with two second-half goals from Vaclav Pilar being crucial for them. However, Hradec Kralove head into this game with a win of four games, defeating Teplice and Sigma Olomouc each twice. In their run of games to this, Hradec Kralove lost just once in as many as nine while drawing one. 

This is a tough one to pick, and it is tough to back either team easily. The two teams definitely have what it takes to win here, and looking at what these two teams can offer, I’m backing both teams to score here. Also, with the visiting team in a better form, I am backing them to take maximum points.
