Tight matchup in Czechia
Recent form
Jablonec and SK Sigma Olomouc go into Sunday's game with a tight betting line, with Jablonec favorites at 2.32, Sigma at 2.85 and the draw at 3.35. The hosts are in slightly worse shape than the visitors, but both will fancy their chances of getting a result from this encounter at Stadion Strelnice in Czechia.
Jablonec's recent 3 results have been somewhat erratic, they lost 5-0 away at Viktoria Plzen in the 1. Liga Championship Group, they were beaten 1-3 at home by Karvina in the cup and then beat Slovan Liberec 2-1 at home in the 1. Liga Championship Group.
Sigma have beaten Karvina twice in a row in the 1. Liga Placement Playoffs, 3-1 away and 4-0 at home, which has to be a good omen ahead of this Sunday's encounter.
- Jablonec have won just 1 of their last 5 matches, drawing 1 and losing 3, while Sigma have won 3 of their last 5 and are on a 2 game winning streak.
- In their most recent 10 games, Jablonec have 3 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses in all competitions, Sigma have 4, 1 and 5 respectively, so these teams are quite evenly matched on recent results.
Tactics & Prediction
The clash of styles makes for an interesting contest, Jablonec want to stretch the game and create width and overloads down the flanks with their wing-backs, while Sigma want to stay compact and sting Jablonec through the middle on the counter-attack.
Lubos Kozel's side have been a little all over the place recently and Sigma are in better form, so we're happy to take Sigma to either avoid defeat or nick a win here, despite this being a home game for the hosts. Sigma's narrow midblock and fast counter attacking game should suit them here and Jablonec's 3-1-2 record at home makes it tricky to give them the vote.
A close and cagey affair looks the most likely outcome, but we're expecting both sides to leave an impression, so the odds make it look a bit of a free hit, Over 2.5 goals is 1.76 and Both Teams To Score: Yes is 1.59.
