- Team style: Artis Brno's style under Roman Nadvornik is simple: compact, physical, low block, direct counters and bite in set-piece situations.
- Playing philosophy: Sigma Olomouc have more of a modern feel, with Pavel Hapal's team playing a possession-first game with flexible three-at-the-back structures and sharper pressing triggers.
- Form: Sigma Olomouc's Louis Lurvink has three goals in his last five appearances.
Artis Brno and Sigma in deadlock in 1. Liga 2026/2027
After two games played of the 1. Liga 2026/2027, Artis Brno sit 11th with one point, while Sigma Olomouc are 10th with the same return from two matches. Sigma are the favorite to win at 1.77, with the home team at 4.05 and the draw coming in at 3.55.
Sigma have played one away match in the 1. Liga 2026/2027, while Artis have only played one home match, so it's difficult to form an opinion on the home advantage for this game.
Artis Brno's recent form: 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses in their last five. Sigma Olomouc's recent form: 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats in their last five.
Sigma have more firepower
Season starts and style
The two clubs have had different starts in the 1. Liga 2026/2027 with Artis Brno losing their one home game so far (0 draws, 1 defeat) and Sigma losing their only road trip (0 draws, 1 defeat). There will be a clash of styles here with Sigma possessing the more offensive game, but with more than enough players to sit deep and defend with numbers when necessary.
Sigma's last three outings reads like 4-0, 2-1, 2-2, which sums up their inconsistent style, but there is plenty of firepower in this side. Pavel Hapal's men blew MFK Karvina away 4-0 at home, fell 2-1 away to Jablonec and tied 2-2 with FK Mlada Boleslav at home. There is no real consistency in that sequence, but there is a clear intention to dominate the ball and press opponents when they have it.
Coach and personnel
Hapal, who took charge of Sigma on 13 April 2026, has built a team in his own image that is beginning to play with the modern possession-plus-press identity.
- Dominik Janosek has added craft in central areas for Sigma, posting 1 assist in 2 games, while Louis Lurvink, who has three in five, is getting into the goals.
- Artis' Papalele is their top creator, with 2 assists in 2 games, and Quadri Adediran their main threat with 4 goals in their last 5 and 2 in 2 in the 1. Liga 2026/2027.
- David Tkac, who has 1 goal in 2 for Sigma, will be his marker on Sunday.
Stalemate in the making at Stadion SK Lisen
Artis Brno's last three games were 0-3 at FC Slovacko (away), 2-4 with FK Mlada Boleslav (home) and 1-1 with FC Slovacko (again, away), which looks like a team that has a good defensive structure, but is missing something in the final third.
Roman Nadvornik took charge of Artis Brno on 23 March 2026 and he appears to have built a squad that is disciplined and ready to get physical, but not necessarily a group of players who can unlock opponents with a slick passing game.
Artis Brno have averaged 2.00 goals per-game at home in the 1. Liga 2026/2027, so they should get chances on Sunday, but Sigma are the more likely to nick it. Our main recommendation here is an away win with both teams to score because, although Sigma look better, the odds are too short to get involved in the game result alone. The styles do clash here and it is easy to see this being a game where Sigma's patience is eventually rewarded and they break through an Artis Brno side that are stubborn and compact.
Sigma have conceded two goals in one away game in the 1. Liga 2026/2027 and so already appear to be a bit leaky at the back, while Artis should be able to carve out enough opportunities to score a goal.
