- H2H: Pardubice have won two of the last three home H2H meetings.
- Away form: Mlada Boleslav have won one and drawn one of their two away games in the 1. Liga 2026/2027.
- Home form: Pardubice are winless in one home game in 2026/2027 (L1), averaging 0.00 goals scored and 2.00 goals conceded.
Mlada Boleslav will be a solid 5/2 to maintain their unbeaten away run
Pardubice are on a two-game losing streak after last weekend's 2-1 defeat away at FC Hradec Kralove followed a 0-2 home loss to Jablonec in the opening game of the 1. Liga 2026/2027.
They are currently 15th in the 1. Liga 2026/2027 on zero points from two games, not a great start for Jan Trousil's men, who have been in charge since 14 October 2025.
Mlada Boleslav's season has got off to a much cleaner start, they are fifth on four points from their two games. They bounced back from a 4-2 away win to SK Artis Brno with a 2-2 draw at SK Sigma Olomouc in the 1. Liga 2026/2027, while they were 2-0 winners in the last H2H at home four months ago, during 1. Liga 2025/2026.
The head-to-head record between the two sides is very evenly poised with two wins each and one draw in the last five meetings, but Pardubice have had the edge at home, winning two of the last three.
Side with the visitors at the double chance
Manager
Aleš Majer has had the reins at Mlada Boleslav since 1 July 2025 and his mantra has been one of continuity, cohesion and shape.
Key players
- Tobias Boledovic leads the Pardubice goals in the 1. Liga 2026/2027 with one in two, while Jan Tredl has been their provider in chief, with one assist, and Vojtech Patrak has two of their last six goals.
- Jiri Klima is the most dangerous FK Mlada Boleslav player so far in 2026/2027, with two goals in as many league games, and three of their last ten overall.
- Solomon John has two assists in his two appearances and could be a threat here again.
Tactics
This is a classic battle of space versus structure, with Pardubice's compact 4-2-3-1 system looking to spring the counters and Mlada Boleslav wanting to play a more structured, controlled tempo.
Majer's men have enough quality to control the game, but if they don't and Pardubice get free, it could be a dog fight.
Form & Betting
Mlada Boleslav have had a mixed start with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five, but their away form is unbeaten, so far.
The odds for this clash make FK Mlada Boleslav slight favorite at 2.93, with Pardubice at 2.15 and the draw at 3.55. A more practical play here is the double chance bet, where Mlada Boleslav or draw is a great price, given the current form of both sides and Pardubice's wobble on home soil.
