Slovacko vs Sparta Prague Prediction: A statement win for Prague

Městský fotbalový stadion Miroslava Valenty will host this game one Czech Fortuna Liga Championship group game between Slovacko and Sparta Prague. Let’s preview this game and make a prediction.

Slovacko salvaged a draw last weekend against Ceske Budejovice in a game that ended 2-2. In that game, Slovacko took the lead in the 22nd minute, with Seung-Bin Kim scoring for them. However, Jan Suchan leveled the scores for Ceske Budejovice before the halftime break, and Jakob Tranziska's 55th-minute strike was good for turning the tables for the opponents. However, an 83rd-minute strike was what Ondrej Mihalik needed to avoid a defeat in that game. Still, it is worth noting that Slovacko have gone on to play seven consecutive league games without a win.

Sparta Prague are coming off a win over Sigma Olomouc. In a game that ended 1-4, Sparta Prague scored twice in each half, with Ladislav Krejci scoring twice, while Veljko Birmancevic and Jan Kuchta also found the back of the net. Heading into this game, Sparta Prague have won their last three league games, with the remaining two being against Ostrava and Bohemians. In that span, Sparta Prague scored 11 goals while conceding five.

Sparta Prague won three of their last five meetings, while two ended in draws. Sparta Prague scored 13 goals in those matches, while Slovacko scored two.

Sparta Prague will view this game as a must-win, and even though they are on the road, they can’t afford to take a draw here. The league is at stake here, and given that a defeat will put them at stake, I am backing them to win. Also, the hosts, Slovacko, are playing poorly and have gone matches without winning. With the high-scoring offensive Sparta Prague side, this game should also end with goals.
