Slavia can make home advantage count
The odds for this game make perfect sense, with heavy favourites SK Slavia Prague going into this game at 1.11 and FC Slovacko being the long shots at 6.8. The market is certainly right to expect a home win, but the question is whether it should be a runaway win or a narrow win and whether or not the visitors can keep it close enough to even push for a win themselves.
In the last 7 months, Slavia have beaten Slovacko 3-0 here in Czechia during 1. Liga 2025/2026, with a clean sheet for the home side. Slavia's build-up play is very fluent and they are a team who press high up the field, which can pinch opponents high up the pitch and force turnovers. However, their key advantage is Jindrich Trpisovsky's long-running blueprint, which keeps them sharp, structured, and hard to rattle.
Slovacko are a little more compact and pragmatic, looking to stay solid and break quickly, but Roman Skuhravy is not a bad coach and might have the gameplan to keep things tight in possession. The hosts are probably the more explosive side, but not enough to put this in the hands of a shootout.
Slovacko have struggled since Roman Skuhravy joined
Recent form
Across all competitions, Slavia have won 6, drawn 1, and lost 3 of their last 10 matches.
- Slavia have played 3 matches since their 3-0 home win against Slovacko, which resulted in a 5-1 win at home to Jablonec, a 3-1 loss away to Hradec Kralove and a 3-0 victory at home to Viktoria Plzen.
- Slovacko, on the other hand, since Roman Skuhravy took over on 18 November 2025, are still finding their feet in the new set-up, but the last two games have given us some hints as to what we can expect from them – a 1-0 loss to Zlín away from home and a 3-0 home victory over SK Artis Brno.
Slovacko form and outlook
Across all competitions, they have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 6 of their last 10, so their recent uptick in form may not be enough to save them in this matchup.
Predictions and key man
We expect Slavia to win, but there's a chance they'll do it in an organized manner as opposed to a shootout, with BTTS – No at 1.35 and Over 2.5 goals at 1.57 seeming like the best options. In the absence of a clear away goal, Michal Travnik is the spark in Slovacko's offense, having scored 2 of their 6 goals in the last 5 games.
