FK Mlada Boleslav (Home)
- Mlada Boleslav are unbeaten in their last five (W4, D1).
- FK Mlada Boleslav (11th) and AC Dukla Praha (16th) are separated by just 11 points in the Czech 1. Liga 2025-2026 standings, having accumulated 30 and 19 from 27 games respectively.
- Ales Mejer’s Mlada have played with a vibrancy since he was appointed head coach in July 2025, instilling an attack-minded approach while steering the team through a five-game unbeaten run.
- This fixture is a true clash of possession versus pressing, with Mlada running a fluid 4-2-3-1 that evolves into a 3-2-5 in possession.
AC Dukla Praha (Away)
- Dukla Praha have failed to win any of their last 13 away 1. Liga matches (D5, L8).
- Dukla Praha’s boss Pavel Sustr, appointed in February 2026, has had a much tougher time trying to steady the ship of a club in freefall.
- Despite his best efforts, Dukla have won one, drawn one and lost three of their five league games under his watch.
Head-to-Head
Mlada won the last league meeting 1-0 away from home in 1. Liga five months ago, but Dukla have won two of the last three meetings, the other was won by Mlada.
Key Players
- Michal Sevcik is Mlada’s most prolific attacker with seven goals in 24 1. Liga appearances this season, although he offers more of a spark than a reliable focal point.
- Marcel Cermak leads the line for Dukla with five goals in 26 appearances, and they will look to him for their main attacking threat.
Betting Insights
- Mlada have won four, drawn five and lost five of their 14 home league matches this term, while Dukla have failed to win any of their 13 away league fixtures, drawing 5 and losing 8.
- A high-scoring game is likely, but Dukla’s attack may struggle to break through the home defense so we’re going for a home win, over 2.5 goals and no both teams to score.
Prediction
With Mlada in red-hot form and Dukla poor travellers, the hosts should get all three points on Sunday.
