Slovan Liberec (home)
Slovan Liberec have lost their last three games and are without a win in two home matches coming into Sunday’s game against AC Sparta Praha .
AC Sparta Praha (away)
- Sparta Praha’s last five league matches: 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
- The second-placed Spartans are 66 points from 31 games in the 1. Liga - Championship Group 2026, 20 points ahead of sixth-placed Liberec who have played 32.
Recent meetings
The last five meetings between these clubs in all competitions: Sparta Praha 3 wins , Slovan Liberec 1 win and 1 draw .
Attackers
Albion Rrahmani opened his account with a goal in his first appearance in the Championship Group for Sparta, while Ermin Mahmic has one in two games to provide some spark to the home side's otherwise lacklustre front line.
Managers
- Radoslav Kovac’s pragmatic and game management style has served the club well since his appointment in July 2024, but they have ground to a halt in recent weeks.
- Brian Priske’s side have been in patchy form recently with their last two away league games resulting in defeat.
Form, tactics and odds
- Sparta’s 3-4-3 with wing-backs and inside-forwards can cause big problems for Kovac’s more compact, counter-attacking game, while the wide areas are areas where Sparta can break through.
- Sparta Praha have won eight of their 15 away league fixtures this season, conceding just 0.80 goals per game on the road.
- Sparta Praha to win and no goals from both teams is the main selection for this 1. Liga - Championship Group 2026 game, while the away odds on this one look a little low at 2.22 and the total score over 2.5 goals will be a smaller secondary bet at 2.13 and BTTS - No at 1.84, which I feel is unlikely given the circumstances.
Short pick
The best bet here seems to be for the away team to emerge on top and shut out the home side, as Liberec average 0.5 goals per home game against Sparta, who average 1.0 as visitors in the same fixture.
