Slavia Prague vs Dukla Prague Prediction: The home team will run riot in this game

The Czech Fortuna Liga encounter between ​​Slavia Prague and Dukla Prague will take place at Eden Arena. Heading into this game, the home side won the last meeting of this fixture. While on the road, does Dukla Prague have a chance?

Slavia Prague are coming off a Europa League game against Athletic Bilbao, and they saw a defeat in what was a road game. In that encounter, Nico Williams' 33rd-minute strike proved to be the decider of the day, as Slavia Prague could not convert any of their six shots on target. In the meantime, Slavia Prague's last league game was a road game against Jablonec, and this team pulled off a 1-2 win. Heading into this match, Slavia Prague have not lost any of their league matches this season. Having accumulated 31 points from a possible 33, Slavia Prague sit top of the Czech Fortuna Liga standings, six points off their closest opponent, Sparta Prague.

Dukla Prague are coming off a MOL Cup encounter against Horovice, and they secured a 0-6 win to qualify for the next round. In that game, Pavel Moulis and Martin Doudera netted for this side in the first half to put them in the lead. However, Pavel Moulis got a brace with his 55th-minute strike, while David Ludvicek's strike also extended the game to 0-5. In the meantime, two late strikes from Lukas Matejka were enough for this side to secure a dominant win over Horovice in that game. While they also secured a 2-1 victory over FK Pardubice in their last league game, Dukla Prague have secured wins in three of their previous five matches. Their lone defeat in recent matches was against Slovan Liberec, as they held Teplice to a 1-1 draw in another encounter. 

Dukla Prague will look to build on their last league win despite their recent struggles but will need to show character and resilience and be at their best. While Slavia Prague are coming off a Champions League defeat, they will also look to turn the tables here. Looking at the winning odds here, the home team is clearly favored, and it is worth it, given how good and competitive they have been all season. While Dukla Prague might prove stubborn in this game, I will rely on goals, as the previous games of this fixture have ended while the home team dominates.
