Bohemians 1905

vs

SK Sigma Olomouc

Preview

Bohemians

• Bohemians 1905 have a lot to gain and little to lose in this semi-final first leg of the 2026 1. Liga placement playoffs as a top-seven finish and stronger platform for next season awaits the winner.
• The Prague club finished 10th in the regular season, winning ten, drawing six and losing 14 of their 30 matches.
• The hosts are the lowest scorers in the top half of the table with just 26 goals, but are a defensive unit and can be resilient with their compact 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 formation.
• Jaroslav Veselý’s men enjoyed a strong April, winning three straight league matches - including a brilliant 2-0 home derby win over Sparta Prague - before falling to a 1-0 defeat at Hradec Králové on the last day.

Sigma

• This weekend’s visitors, SK Sigma Olomouc, finished the 2025/26 1. Liga campaign in seventh and also have plenty to play for in this two-legged tie to decide their league placing for next term.
• The Sigma players have been good for a few goals in the right places, while the presence of Dominik Janošek gives them a spark in midfield.
• The midfielder scored the winner when Olomouc beat Slovácko 2-1 in their last outing and he is usually the man to make things happen when the visitors look to play a vertical, up-tempo style.

Head-to-Head

Key Players

• Milan Ristovski is the talisman for the Bohemians attack, providing a focal point up front and making things happen in transition or on set plays.
• He has bagged some big goals in April to help his side win games and is a constant threat.
• Václav Sejk is Sigma’s highest scorer since he signed for the club in winter.
• The forward has come up with some crucial goals this term and can make a difference in tight matches.

Betting Insights

• The odds suggest a tight game, with both teams to score priced at 1.68 and Bohemians a very short favorite at 2.21.
• Bookmakers list Bohemians at 2.21, Sigma at 2.93 and a draw at 3.58.
• A home win for Bohemians or a tough, hard-fought tie looks the most probable result as the hosts have found their rhythm with three straight league wins in April and have been much more solid at the back since Veselý tightened up the tactical discipline.
• Bohemians’ recent performances against strong opponents and Sigma’s managerial situation also point to a similar conclusion here, but the value lies with the draw given the quality of the two squads and the recent record between the clubs.
