Betting Insights
- With both clubs struggling, the odds do little to tempt with the hosts narrowly favoured at 2.45 against Pardubice's 2.55, with the draw at 3.35 too.
- A good alternative to the game result markets is both teams to score, which appeals because both sides have been shaky at the back but capable of nicking the goals too.
Prediction
- Východočeši have failed to win on any of their last three trips to Slovácko and we believe the home edge is real enough for Synot to edge a scrappy game.
- Slovácko are usually a patient, build-up side, but with a good enough forward to get the ball forward too.
- Pardubice want to press high and get behind their wing backs as quickly as possible, which is a structure-versus-press battle if ever we saw one.
- Back Boledovic to score if you fancy a goalscorer, but we're taking the BTTS selection.
