Sparta
- Letenští have 19 points from their 11 matches so far, putting them fifth in the 1. Liga 2026/2027 table, while 15th placed Slovacko have managed only 7 from the same number of games played.
- Sparta have had a good run of 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 competitive games, so they are the team with momentum here and they should win the game if they play their best football.
- In the 1. Liga 2026/2027, Sparta average 2.20 goals per game at home and Slovacko score 0.83 and concede 1.83 on their travels.
Slovacko
- Slovacko have a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats in their last 5 matches.
- Slovacko have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 4 of their away fixtures in the 1. Liga 2026/2027, so they have been an underdog on the road.
Head-to-Head
- Sparta are unbeaten in their last 2 home games against Slovacko (W1, D1) and beat them 5-2 on this ground 7 months ago.
- Sparta should make short work of Slovacko on Sunday at the epet Arena, Czechia, where the hosts are unbeaten in their last 2 games against the visitors.
Key Players
- John Mercado (4 goals in 9 appearances in the 1. Liga 2026/2027) is Sparta's top goalscorer and they have a reliable finisher up top.
- Gigli Ndefe (2 goals in 9 league games) is their main threat and they'll need him to nick a moment on the break because Slovacko just don't look good enough for a clean sheet on Sunday.
- Matyas Vojta has found his form recently and has scored 3 of Sparta's 10 goals in their last 5 across all current competitions.
Betting Insights
- That's enough of a gap for the bookmakers to make Sparta overwhelming favorites at 1.29, with Slovacko a big outsider at 8.55 and the draw priced at 5.25.
- Under 2.5 goals at 2.56 is an alternative play, but we feel Sparta should control the match and grab the win.
Prediction
- We can't really justify the draw either, so we'll take Sparta as our main selection here and take a punt on a home win that may well require a bit of patience on the part of the hosts.
- A clash like this should suit the home side and if Sparta are able to hit the lead, we could see the game open up a little.
- Slovacko may be able to add to that stat with some sneaky resistance, but we still think Sparta should win.
