Karvina vs Slavia Prague Prediction: Visitors to bounce back to winning ways

The upcoming Round 21 Czech Fortuna Liga fixture between Karvina and Slavia Prague will take place at Městský stadion Karviná. Karvina, facing back-to-back defeats, aims to bounce back on their home turf. In contrast, Slavia Prague enters the match with an unbeaten streak.

Karviná aims to avoid a repeat of their recent outcome, having suffered a 0-3 loss to Pardubice in the previous First League match. During that game, Karviná had 46% possession, attempted 17 shots on goal, with 3 on target. Pardubice, on the other hand, registered 16 shots with 6 on target, and goals from Kryštof Daněk (24'), Marek Icha (75'), and Ladislav Krobot (76'). Notably, many recent Karviná matches have featured a significant number of scorelines with no goals for them. In five out of their last six games preceding this one, a bet on both teams to score (BTTS) would have been unsuccessful. Additionally, Karviná faces the challenge of being winless at home in the past four league matches.

Slavia Prague comes into this match with a commendable record, winning three out of their last five games against Beijing Guoan, Zlaté Moravce, and Jablonec. However, they faced two draws against Beijing Guoan and Zlín during this period. Across these matches, Slavia Prague netted a total of 12 goals while conceding six. In their away games, Slavia Prague averaged scoring 2 goals per match and conceded an average of 0.85. The team accumulated 42 yellow cards and 2 red cards, with a total of 269 fouls committed. Slavia Prague maintains an average team rating of 6.34 per match.

Following their challenging match against Zlin, Slavia Prague is well aware of the need to elevate their performance if they aim to clinch the league title. Conversely, Karvina enters this match with confidence, seeking to escape the relegation group. Despite this, the disparity in player quality is expected to be the deciding factor. Despite being on the road, I am predicting that Slavia Prague will emerge victorious in both halves of this match.
