Head-to-Head
FC Trinity Zlín have beaten FK Teplice in 3 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings, with no ties.
FC Trinity Zlín
- Tuesday’s 1. Liga - Relegation Group battle sees 3rd placed FK Teplice travel to play 1st placed FC Trinity Zlín, as both sides look to improve their survival chances.
- Teplice have been in poor form recently, with Zdenko Frtala’s side winless in their last 5, while Zlín have won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5.
FK Teplice
However, Zlín have won 2 of their last 3 at home, making this a tough place to go for Teplice, who are without a win in their last 2 trips to play Zlín.
Key Players
- Zlín’s 4-2-3-1/4-4-2 formation is based on their ability to sit in a compact low block, defend with numbers, and keep it simple in possession before delivering direct balls to a big man up top.
- Teplice are a more interesting team, as Frtala switches between a back 3 and a back 4, and likes to press with his teams when they have the energy.
-
Jakub Cernin (1 goal in 1 match) leads Zlín’s scoring in the Relegation Group, and Tomas Poznar has scored 3 of Zlín’s last 7, and should be the target man for the hosts.
- Jakub Cernin
- Tomas Poznar
- Teplice have scored 1.00 goals per away game this league campaign, but they have also conceded 1.40 goals on average per away trip, and this will be a tough game.
Betting Insights
- With both teams playing pragmatically, the ‘both teams to score’ market is surprisingly priced at 1.98.
- Zlín’s odds of 2.47 make them favourites for this game, which is more than fair considering Teplice’s 3.15 price.
- Teplice have failed to win on their last 2 visits to Zlín, and they failed to break the home team down on both occasions.
Prediction
Since Zlín beat Teplice 3-2 just 2 weeks ago at home in the league, and they are in better form, we’re going for the home side to do the job again.
