- Team form: FC Zbrojovka Brno are unbeaten at home in the 1. Liga 2026/2027, winning their only home game and keeping shutouts in their last 3 at home in all competitions.
- Away form: FC Slovan Liberec are also unbeaten away in the 1. Liga 2026/2027, scoring 3 goals in 1 away game so far.
Liberec look for an upset
The draw is the biggest price available in this game, but the odds on the away team are too good to overlook in this matchup between the early 1. Liga 2026/2027 top-four sides. Liberec are priced at 2.6 for this Friday's clash with Brno at the ADAX Invest Arena in Czechia, ahead of the home team at 2.44 and the draw at 3.25.
The odds look slightly favourable for the away side, but the styles of the two teams suggest the game could be close.
High-energy hosts vs disciplined away team
Brno: high-energy hosts
Martin Svedik has Brno playing high-tempo, front-foot football that is built around quick transitions, wide overloads and an aggressive press. So far, their new-look team has looked potent, recording a 4-1 home win over Dynamo Ceske Budejovice, a 2-0 away defeat to TSV Hartberg and a 3-1 home victory over AC Sparta Praha.
Key players
- Daniel Vasulin is the main goal-getter with 1 goal in 1. Liga 2026/2027, but Amadou Dante has added creative spark with 1 assist in 1 match so far.
- Patrik Dulay is their key player in the 1. Liga 2026/2027, with 1 goal and 1 assist, making him the team's biggest threat between the lines.
Liberec: disciplined away team
Branislav Fodrek is looking to build a compact, pragmatic and structured unit in Liberec this season, one that will absorb pressure and pounce on space behind when they have the ball.
Liberec have momentum
Their first result of the new campaign, a 2-1 away loss to Jablonec, was disappointing, but they picked up their first victory last week with a 3-1 win at FC Viktoria Plzen.
That shows their ability to take big scalps on the road when they get the counter on, so we're going for Liberec to nick this one in what will likely be a close game.
The visitors have good momentum and the game may well be close enough for Liberec to snag a result.
