The meetings between these two teams have a history of Baník Ostrava beating Sparta Praha at home, both 3-2 last May and 1-3 at Sparta's ground in November 2024. But this time the form of both teams is clearly different from then. Baník Ostrava have played 10 league matches with 3 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses, scoring only 7 goals and conceding 18. They are a team whose attack has not clicked and whose defence has problems, but at home they usually play with more aggression than usual. As for Sparta Praha, they have won 6 of 10 matches, scoring 20 and conceding 12. They are a team that dominates possession more and clearly creates more chances, especially in their latest match where they won 4-1 in the Europa League. This game is likely to play out with Sparta Praha dominating possession and pushing forward mainly, while Baník Ostrava will sit deep and wait for counter-attacking moments. If the home team can hold their shape and not concede early, the game will become even more uncomfortable for the away team, and there is a chance that Baník Ostrava will edge a draw or lose by just a single goal.
