Sparta Prague vs Slavia Prague Prediction: Visiting side to take maximum points

Sparta Prague and Slavia Prague will battle it out at the epet ARENA in round 32 of the Czech Fortuna Liga. Heading into this game, four points separate the two teams in the standings, with Sparta Prague ahead. Can Slavia Prague close the gap with a road win here?

Sparta Prague are coming off a 2-4 win over Slovacko. In that game, Sparta Prague got their goals from Jan Kuchta's brace, while Lukas Haraslin and Ladislav Krejci also added to their tally. With that win, Sparta Prague have now extended their win run to four in a row, while this side also remains unbeaten in their last eight games. In that run of games, Sparta Prague won seven while playing to a draw with Mlada Boleslav in a 1-1 encounter. In those matches, Slavia Prague scored 21 goals while conceding nine.

Slavia Prague will come into this game, eyeing a win at all costs. Last weekend, Slavia Prague played Ostrava, and they got five past their opponents, with Ivan Schranz putting them in the lead going into the halftime break. However, a second-half brace from Mojmir Chytil and Vaclav Jurecka were good enough to seal the win for Slavia Prague. In the meantime, a look at this side's last five games shows they have three wins, while one game ended in a 2-2 draw with Sigma Olomouc. However, their encounter against Viktoria Plzen ended in a 1-0 defeat on the road. In those matches, Slavia Prague scored 11 goals while conceding five. 

Slavia Prague and Sparta Prague's last five games ended in one win for each side. However, the last three consecutive games ended in draws, with Sparta Prague winning on penalties in one.

We could be in for a shocking result here. This is surely a tricky fixture, considering the importance of this game and the fact that Slavia Prague is on the road. At the moment, Sparta Prague look unbeatable and very strong. However, Slavia Prague are the side that actually will value a win most here, and while I expect the two sides to focus on defensive play here, I expect few goals.
