Sigma Olomouc vs Teplice Prediction: A competitive encounter is expected

Sigma Olomouc and Teplice will square it off at Andrův Stadion in round 3 of the Czech Fortuna Liga. The two teams could not secure a win in their last weekend’s encounter. How will they respond here?

Sigma Olomouc were held to a 1-1 draw last weekend against Slovan Liberec. In that game, Sigma Olomouc were behind in the 37th minute of the game and could not level the scores before the end of halftime. However, this team needed a 63rd-minute strike from Filip Zorvan from the spot to ensure that Sigma Olomouc avoided a defeat in that encounter. Heading into this game with a win in their opener, Sigma Olomouc are seated 5th in the standings with four points.

Teplice saw their second season defeat against Sparta Prague as this team lost 1-4. In that encounter, Teplice were strong defensively at halftime, holding their opponent to a goalless draw. However, Teplice conceded two minutes into the second half but leveled before the 60th minute. In the meantime, their poor play saw them go behind again just one minute later before conceding two goals in the additional minutes of the game. With zero points this season, Teplice are one of the three sides that have not secured a win in their first two games. 

Teplice has yet to display quality this season, and they are coming on the road here, which will be a huge disadvantage for them. Sigma Olomouc have been very good this season, and looking at their preseason run to this, we can expect them to bring that quality into this game. This should be a tight one; as I am not writing Teplice off, Sigma Olomouc should be able to win in a game that should see both teams net.
