Banik Ostrava vs Karvina Prediction: A high scoring game expected

The Municipal Stadium will host the round 28 Czech Fortuna Liga clash between Banik Ostrava and Karvina. In the previous encounter, the hosts secured a dominant victory. Can the visiting team make a statement and turn the tables this time around?

Baník Ostrava will aim to build on their recent performance following a 3-2 victory against Jablonec in the First League. In that match, Baník Ostrava maintained 38% possession and registered 16 attempts on goal, with 6 on target. Jiří Klíma (11') and Patrick Kpozo (24') were the scorers for Baník Ostrava, while Dominik Hollý (45'), Nemanja Tekijaški (61' Own goal), and Michal Černák (78') found the net for Jablonec.

Baník Ostrava has been consistently scoring in their last six games, finding the back of the net in each outing, tallying a total of 11 goals during this period. However, they have also conceded a total of 6 goals in these matches.

In their previous First League fixture, Karviná played out a goalless draw against Viktoria Plzeň. During that match, Karviná held 38% possession and managed 6 shots on goal, with 2 of them on target. On the other hand, Viktoria Plzeň had 18 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.

Karviná's recent defensive record indicates that they have conceded goals in 5 of their last 6 games, with their opponents scoring a total of 9 goals. Clearly, there is room for improvement in their defensive performance.

Looking at their recent encounters, Karviná hasn't suffered defeat against Baník Ostrava in their last two away league matches. However, they have failed to secure an away victory in their last 6 league matches.

Matches between these two teams have historically been high-scoring affairs, and I anticipate a similar scenario in this upcoming match. While the hosts appear to be in good form, Karviná's resilience against Viktoria Plzeň suggests they shouldn't be underestimated. However, despite Karviná's strength, I still have faith in the hosts to perform well and secure a victory in this encounter.
