Slavia Praha will look to solidify their position at the top of the table and further distance themselves from their title contenders. Their undefeated streak in the league and the advantage of playing at home should enhance their prospects of overpowering their visitors in this matchup.
Viktoria Plzen’s track record of being unable to secure a victory against Slavia Praha at the Fortuna Arena does not help matters. They have not won in their last 13 attempts at Prague. We predict a comfortable win for the hosts but back it with a minimal win and a handicap (-1) at the solid 2.15 (11/10) odds.
