Zlín (home team)
- The hosts will line up in a very compact, defensive block and try to frustrate Jablonec, who will look to dominate possession and find the gaps in the home side’s make-up with their width.
- They have won four, drawn four and lost five of their 13 home fixtures in the 1. Liga 2025/2026, averaging 1.54 goals per game scored and 1.46 goals per game conceded.

- Jablonec have scored 15 goals in 13 away games in the league this season.
