Sparta vs Teplice: Preview, Free tip & Prediction
06.11.2021 13:00
Sunday's Czech Fortuna League line-up will close with Sparta vs Teplice from 18:00. The Reds only drew in Ostrava in the last round, so nothing but a mandatory victory is expected in the home match against the 15th team in the table.
Basic information, news and team form
Sparta travelled to Baník with a four-match winning streak in hand, but in the end they were glad to have earned at least a 2:2 draw on the hot Ostrava soil. The hosts were the more dangerous team most of the time and Sparta's performance at the back left a lot to be desired. It was more of the same in Thursday's Europa League match at Lyon, where ACS fell 0:3. However, it needs to be said that Sparta put in a solid performance and if they had converted their chances, the score could have been much more even.
Teplice have only five points after 13 rounds so it is no surprise that they are second to last in the table. The change of manager, during which Jiří Jarošík replaced Radim Kučera at the end of September, has not helped at all so far. Under the former national team defender, Teplice have played four league games so far, but failed to earn points in any of them. The closest they came was last weekend at home against Liberec, but a goal in the third minute of stoppage time brought them down to 1:2. To make matters worse, Teplice lost almost all of their defenders due to card suspensions or injuries.
Betdoin's view of the match
The bookmakers consider Sparta to be the overwhelming favourites for the match and it is not surprising, the quality difference between the two teams should be huge. Betdoin algorithm also expects a clear triumph for the home team, but according to its analysis, the odds on Sparta goals have no value and it is better to avoid them. On the other hand, picks in the opposite direction are an interesting option. One of them is the under 1.5 goals in the 1st half, where the odds are set at an enticing 1.80.
Absentees and estimated line-ups
Sparta's centre-back Čelůstka was injured against Lyon, so his Sunday start would be a surprise. A question mark also hangs over Adam Hložek, who did not start in France due to health problems. Hojer, Juliš, Polidar or Souček are out for a long time. Teplice are also facing major problems with the line-up: Knapík and Chlumecký are suspended, Mazuch, Kučera and Žitný are injured, while Čtvrtečka and Fortelný will not play due to the conditions of their loan agreement.
Sparta - estimated line-up:
Nita - Wiesner, Štětina, Panák, Hancko - Sáček, Krejčí - Pešek, Dočkal, Haraslín - Minčev
Teplice - estimated line-up:
Grigar - Vondrášek, Mareček, Hasil, Hyčka - Jukl, Krunert - Kodad, Trubač, Moulis - Rezek
