Slavia Prague vs Sigma Olomouc Prediction: Home team expected to dominate this game

Eden Arena will host this round 29 Czech Fortuna Liga match between Slavia Prague and Sigma Olomouc. The last time these two teams faced each other, Slavia Prague had a dominant 1-3 road win. Can Sigma Olomouc also replicate that kind of result on the road?

Slavia Prague were defeated by Viktoria Plzen last weekend, which hurt their league title chase. With that defeat, Slavia Prague moved to the second spot in the standings, and they remain with 68 points after 28 league matches, which positions them 2nd in the league standings. In the meantime, it is worth noting that Slavia Prague won three consecutive matches in prior encounters to that defeat. In that span, Slavia Prague defeated Bohemians, Slovacko, and Liberec, scoring eight goals and conceding two. Looking at the host's recent league games, Slavia Prague won all of them, as their defeats have come on the road in the league so far in 2024.

Sigma Olomouc returned to winning ways against Jablonec the previous weekend, securing a 1-0 win at home. In that game, Sigma Olomouc's 74th-minute Juraj Chvatal’s strike proved to be the difference, as he was the hero of that game. However, that win was Sigma Olomouc's second in recent games, the first coming against Ostrava in early March in a game that ended 1-2. In the meantime, Sigma Olomouc lost to Mlada Boleslav, FK Pardubice, and Zlin in the run of consecutive league games. In the league this season, Sigma Olomouc now accumulated 36 points from 28 matches, placing them 8th in the standings.

The hosts have found more successes in this fixture, and they come in as favorites once again. While Sigma Olomouc returned to winning ways the previous weekend, it is still clear that they are not at the level to compete toe-to-toe with Slavia Prague here. Looking at the last three meetings of this fixture, we have witnessed at least four goals, and that should continue here. While the title win is on the line for Slavia Prague here, I do not see them failing to win consecutive games. Hence, I expect them to dominate this game from the beginning, winning by at least three goals.
