Slavia Prague vs Slovan Liberec Prediction: Expect a closely contested encounter in this one

The Eden Arena sets the stage for the 25th round of the Czech Fortuna Liga, featuring Slavia Prague and Slovan Liberec. With the home team just one point behind first-placed Sparta Prague and the visitors two points adrift of Championship Group spots, both sides are eager to secure a favorable result.

Slavia Prague aims to bounce back from a 1-3 defeat to AC Milan in their previous Europa League fixture. Despite holding 38% possession, Slavia Prague managed 8 attempts on goal, with Matěj Jurásek (84') finding the net. However, AC Milan capitalized with goals from Christian Pulišić (33'), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (36'), and Rafael Leão (45'). Jindřich Trpišovský's side has been prolific in front of goal, scoring 13 times in their last six outings while conceding just 5. Notably, Slavia Prague remains undefeated in their last three league encounters with Slovan Liberec and has also maintained an unbeaten streak in their last five home league matches.

Slovan Liberec enters the game on the back of a 1-0 victory against Karviná in their previous First League fixture. Despite enjoying 55% possession, Slovan Liberec managed 17 attempts on goal, with Michael Rabušic (84') securing the win. However, their away form has been less convincing, with the team failing to register a win in their last 11 away league matches. Additionally, Slovan Liberec has struggled against Slavia Prague in recent encounters, failing to win in their last five away league games against them.

Both teams have shown a commitment to attacking football, promising an exciting encounter. However, Slavia Prague's strong home form and pursuit of the title make them unlikely to falter at home. Slovan Liberec's declining performance and poor away record suggest they may struggle, requiring extra determination. While it won't be an easy contest for either side, I anticipate both teams to score, with Slavia Prague edging to victory by full time.
