Ceske Budejovice vs Slovacko Prediction: Visiting Slovacko won’t drop points

Ceske Budejovice and Slovacko will square it off at Fotbalový Stadion Střelecký ostrov in the Czech First League. Entering into this game, both teams played to draw in their previous match against their opponents. Which of the two sides will return to winning ways here?

Ceske Budejovice salvaged a draw in their last league game against Teplice in a game that ended 2-2. In that game, Ceske Budejovice took the lead through Lukas Marecek’s own goal, but Teplice responded well with two successive goals in the 33rd and 40th minutes of the first half, both Daniel Fila and Stepan Chaloupek scoring for them. However, Jan Suchan leveled Ceske Budejovice from the spot in the 67th minute of the game from the spot, and that was all they needed to avoid a defeat at least. Heading into this game, however, Ceske Budejovice are in the relegation spot in the standings with 23 points accumulated from a possible 87, positioning them 15th spot out of 16 in the league.

Slovacko continued their winless run last weekend against Viktoria Plzen, as they played to a 1-1 draw in that game. Being behind in the 41st minute of the first half, a 73rd-minute goal for Slovacko from the spot by Vlastimil Danicek was all Slovacko needed to take a point from that game. In the meantime, Slovacko head into this game without a win in their last six league games, a run where they lost four times and played to two draws. In their defeats, Slovacko were defeated by Jablonec, Slavia Prague, Slovan Liberec and Hradec Kralove, while one other game ended in a draw with Teplice.

In the last five matches between these sides, Slovacko won three times, while Ceske Budejovice won once. However, one other encounter ended in a 2-2 draw. Slovacko scored ten goals in those matches, while Ceske Budejovice scored six.

This is going to be a very close game, as both teams are in poor shape going into this game. While everything already indicates that Ceske Budejovice will finish in the relegation spot before playoffs, Slovacko risks the possibility of not making the championship group if they fail to win here. This will be a match where the importance and the importance of this game to either side will determine the winner, and Slovacko are tipped to take all three points here. Also, both teams enter this game with poor defensive records, and I expect them both to be able to find the back of the net.
