Ostrava vs Slovacko Prediction: Hosts to take maximum points

Municipal Stadium will host this Czech Fortuna Championship group encounter between Ostrava and Slovacko. Both teams are struggling at the moment, and heading into this game, we could expect a better performance from them. How will this encounter end?

Ostrava are coming off a 1-1 draw with Viktoria Plzen last time out, and in this one, they will hope for something better. In that game, Ostrava came from behind to pick a point in the encounter, thanks to David Buchta’s 67th-minute strike. However, their last seven games of this team has ended without a win, losing four and drawing three; in the meantime, the overall season performance of this side saw them pick up 46 points from 5 matches, positioning them 5th in the standings.

Slovacko ended on the losing end against Slavia Prague last time out in the league, a 1-2 defeat. In the meantime, that defeat was Slovacko third in their last five games, as this side also lost to Viktoria Plzen and Sparta Prague in another game. However, Slovacko were able to pick a 2-2 draw with Ceske Budejovice, while they were able to defeat Mlada Boleslav in another encounter. Looking at their overall season performance, Slovacko picked up 44 points from 34 league games, positioning them 6th in the standings. 

The two teams have been less than impressive since the beginning of the championship group matches. However, I expect this game to be where both teams are expected to score. Also, while Ostrava are at home, I believe they will take advantage and win.
