Hradec Kralove vs Jablonec Prediction: The two teams have to step up their game

Malšovická Aréna will host the Czech Fortuna Liga contest between Hradec Kralove and Jablonec. The two teams last meeting ended in a win for Jablonec. Can Kralove get things right? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions.

Hradec Kralove

Hradec Králové's last league game was against Bohemians and they settled for a draw. In a game that ended 2-2, goals from Karel Spacil and Vaclav Pilar were enough to see this team avoid a defeat, having gone behind by two goals within the first 25 minutes of kickoff. However, Hradec Kralove have won twice in their last five matches, defeating FK Pardubice and Turan. In their last home matches, Hradec Kralove have only lost once, coming against Vlasim. With 29 points, Hradec Kralove sit 9th in the standings, scoring 22 goals and conceding 22.

Jablonec

Jablonec are coming off a win over Karvina and they will hope to keep things running. In a 5-0 dominating encounter, Martin Cedidla, Lamin Jawo, Dominik Holly, Alexis Alegue, and Bienvenue Kanakimana's goals were enough to see this team secure maximum points. However, Jablonec have won four of their last five matches, their lone defeat coming against Jablonec. In other games, this team defeated Polissya Zhytomyr, Slovacko and Ceske Budejovice. With 39 points, Jablonec sit 5th in the standings, scoring 43 goals and conceding 21.

Yet, I feel this game could go either way, but Hradec Kralove are not solid enough to secure maximum points.
