Ostrava vs Sparta: Preview, Free tip & Prediction
30.10.2021 13:00
Sunday's Czech league programme will offer, among other things, a traditionally heated match between Ostrava and Sparta. Baník have failed to defeat their rival in eight league games in a row, so they have a lot to make up for.
Basic information, news and team form
Ostrava didn't play last weekend because of the quarantine in the camp of the opponent from Karviná, so they had a long preparation for the duel with Sparta. It was supposed to culminate in Wednesday's cup match at home against Hradec Králové, but Baník did not put in a good performance and was knocked out after a sensational 1:2 defeat. It was the second competitive loss in a row: in the last league match FCB lost 1:2 to Slovácko at home. Otherwise, Ostrava are however still experiencing a relatively successful start of the season: 22 points means fifth place in the table. Baník also have one match in hand compared to the competition.
Sparta did get important points at home against Mladá Boleslav in the last round, but the 1-0 win was not easy. The visitors were the more dangerous team most of the time and if it wasn't for goalkeeper Nita, ACS could only dream of a clean sheet. However, Hložek scored in stoppage time to give the home team the win and Sparta did not pay for the poor performance. It was the fourth league win in a row for the Reds, which put them in second place in the table. With main rivals Plzeň and Slavia facing each other on Sunday night, the three points from Ostrava could play an important role in the title fight.
Betdoin's view of the match
Sparta are expected to beat Banik, but there is no doubt that the home side will be a tough opponent. An even game dominated by defences would not be a suprise. One of the selected value bets is thus under 1,5 goals in the first half.
Absentees and estimated line-ups
Baník will not be able to use the centre-back Lischka due to the conditions of his loan, while Laštůvka and Potočný have injury problems. Sparta will miss injured Juliš, Hojer and Souček, while the participation of Polidar or Čelůstka is uncertain.
Ostrava - estimated line-up:
Budínský - Juroška, Svozil, Pokorný, Fleišman - Ndefe, Kuzmanovič, Jánoš, Tetour, Azevedo - Klíma
Sparta - estimated line-up:
Nita - Wiesner, Panák, Štětina, Hancko - Krejčí, Pavelka - Pešek, Dočkal, Haraslín - Hložek
