Slovan Liberec
- Slovan Liberec sit 5th in the 1. Liga 2025/2026 season with 34 points from 21 games, while Banik Ostrava are languishing in 13th with only 18 points from the same number of games.
- Slovan Liberec have drawn 3 of their last 5 matches (W1, L1).
- Slovan were beaten 3-1 at Viktoria Plzen.
- However, they had won their previous match at home to FC Trinity Zlín 2-0 and will hope for a similar result on Sunday.
- Slovan, under Radoslav Kovac since July 2024, are possession based and like to control the game by keeping the ball and playing through a #10 in central midfield.
Banik Ostrava
- The visitors have been in the better form of the two sides in recent weeks, drawing 2-2 away at Slovacko and beating Sigma Olomouc 2-0 at home, while Slovan were beaten 3-1 at Viktoria Plzen.
- Banik Ostrava have drawn 2 of their last 5 (W2, L1).
- Banik Ostrava, on the other hand, are all about pace and counter-attacking under Tomas Galasek, who has brought a more flexible system to the club since he took over in December 2025.
- Galasek’s men press well and have some electric wide players and wing-backs who create all sorts of problems for their opponents with their pace and trickery.
Head-to-Head
Banik Ostrava have had the better of recent matches between the teams, winning 2, losing 1.
Key Players
Slovan’s Lukas Masek is the best goal threat for his team with 7 goals in 20 league appearances this season, while Abdallah Gning is Banik’s danger man with 8 in 21 .
Betting Insights
- A draw would be no surprise either and can be backed at 3.3, but the hosts have won their last home game and Banik have failed to win their last 2 on the road, so the hosts can edge this one out by a goal or two.
- Slovan have conceded just 7 goals in 10 home league matches this season and with Banik Ostrava averaging just 0.55 goals scored and 1.09 goals conceded per away game, the under 2.5 goals market at 1.88 looks a good option here.
