FC Trinity Zlín
- FC Trinity Zlín are 16th in the 1. Liga 2026/2027 table (0 points, 7 games).
- Zlín are winless in 4 home games in the 1. Liga 2026/2027 (W0, D0, L4), which means that their traditional Komárov-style home advantage hasn't been in evidence since their demotion.
- The only positive is that Jakub Cernin is the team's top scorer with 2 goals in 7 games, so there is a goal outlet, even if it's small and not prolific.
- Cervenka's Zlín are on a 2-game losing streak after their 0-2 Czech Cup win at Unicov was followed by a 3-2 loss away at FC Zbrojovka Brno and a 1-3 home loss to FK Teplice.
FC Hradec Králové
- FC Hradec Kralove are 8th in the 1. Liga 2026/2027 standings (10 points, 6 games).
- Zlín's low-possession, transition-heavy 4-2-3-1 system will come up against a solid back three and wing-backs from David Horejs, who has led FC Hradec Kralove since February 2024.
- Horejs' side build patiently from the back and have a clinical edge in the last third.
- Mick van Buren is their main goal threat, but Daniel Horak (2 assists in 6) and Vladimir Darida (2 of last 5 goals) have provided the cutting edge in this 3-4-2-1 system.
Head-to-Head
Zlín's average of 2.3 goals scored against Hradec in this fixture and the Votroci's average of 1.3 away goals suggest that this will be a cagey game with only a one-goal margin .
