Sparta
- Sparta come into this one having won 4 of their last 5 games, losing the other.
- In their two most recent matches, they have achieved an impressive 4-1 victory away to FC Ararat-Armenia in the UEFA Europa League - League Stage 2026/2027 before following up with a 3-0 away win over SK Sigma Olomouc in the 1. Liga 2026/2027 last weekend.
- Letenští now sit 7th in the 1. Liga 2026/2027 on 15 points from 9 games, still within the chasing group despite their strong form.
FK Pardubice
They have won 3 of their last 5 (D1, L1) and are in the middle of a 3-game hot streak , although their lowly 13th-placed position in the 1. Liga 2026/2027 ( 8 points from 9 ) means that there is only one way this table is going to go on Sunday.
Head-to-Head
- The head-to-head also edges the hosts' way, with Sparta winning 4 of the last 5 without a draw.
- Sparta have won 2 of the 3 meetings at home and a Sparta win & Both Teams to Score - Yes looks like a decent option here.
Key Players
- Pardubice's David Krcik is the top scorer for the visitors with 2 goals in his 4 appearances in the 1. Liga 2026/2027.
- John Mercado leads the way for Sparta with 4 in 9 and the hosts will be confident that they have the edge in the final third for this game.
