Head-to-Head
- Under 2.5 goals have been scored in four of the last five 1. Liga meetings between Teplice and Slovácko.
- Teplice have won three of the last five meetings, each by a single-goal margin, including a 1-0 win here in December 2025.
Teplice
- Just one point separates these two clubs as they prepare to face off in what is effectively a six-pointer in the relegation group of the Czech 1. Liga’s post-split phase.
- Teplice don’t always line up with the same personnel or formation, but they always set up with a compact, disciplined shape in defense that is adept at dealing with the pressure.
- Matouš Trmal has been their rock in goal and his presence allows them to sit deep and keep numbers behind the ball at all times.
- Midfielders Michal Bílek and Daniel Mareček have frequently provided a goal or an assist in recent months and always offer a threat from deep or set pieces.
- Teplice will surely keep it tight at the back, as they have done for much of the season, and Slovácko’s away form has been patchy and remains a concern.
Slovácko
- Sunday’s visitors, managed by Roman Skuhravý, have been through the wringer with plenty of tactical experimentation, but have produced inconsistent results since he took the helm.
- Slovácko have looked defensively fragile at times in the spring and haven’t been delivering enough in the final third to compensate.
- Slovácko are more of an attacking team, pressing high up the field, using wing-backs and circulating the ball quickly to close down space in front of their goal.
- Michael Krmenčík is a powerful targetman and can win games like this on his own if he gets enough service, but the visitors have lacked a reliable end product from midfield and wide areas this season with only Žan Medved and Jan Suchan providing any real spark.

Betting Insights
FK Teplice are just slightly favored for the win at 2.07 and that looks a good price, given the hosts have been the more solid of the two clubs in recent years and have a better recent record against Slovácko.
Prediction
- They are more likely to win this game if it opens up, but Teplice will be happy to play a tactical chess match and look to pounce on any wide area opportunities if the visitors press too hard.
- We’re taking the home side to win and keep a shutout in what is likely to be another low-scoring encounter between these two teams.
