Jablonec
- Jablonec have won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 in all competitions (L2), they currently sit 4th in the 1. Liga - Championship Group 2026 (51pts from 31 matches).
- Jablonec have won 7, drawn 5 and lost 3 of 15 home league matches this season (W7, D5, L3).
- The hosts are likely to come at Hradec in a similar way in which they approach all of their home games, which is to be patient in build up and controlled on the ball as they probe centrally before switching the tempo and bursting forward.
Hradec Kralove
- Hradec Kralove have won 4 of their last 5 (L1) and trail Jablonec by just 2 points in 5th place (49pts from 31 matches).
- Horejs’ men are more direct and vertical in nature, and they have been extremely efficient in recent weeks as they have won 4 of their last 5.
- Hradec Kralove have won 2 of their last 3 on the road, including a typically gritty 1-0 success at FK Teplice.
Head-to-Head
Although Hradec won the last meeting between the sides 2-0 at home, they have failed to win at Jablonec on their last 2 visits and we think they may be stopped once more on Sunday.
Key Players
- Ondrej Mihalik has scored 5 goals in Hradec’s last 5 games and has netted in the current Championship Group campaign - he’s the most likely man to score on Sunday.
- Kozel’s men have the creativity and talent in midfield and wide areas to do that, and can switch from 4-2-3-1 to 4-3-3 in a flash in order to dominate the central areas and control the pace of the game.
Betting Insights
- We’re happy to take the generous odds on Horejs’ side to take all 3 points in what should be a gripping matchup.
- Jablonec score at home but concede at a very average rate of just 1.00.
- FC Hradec average 1.38 goals per away match, and they should be able to create more than enough to win this one at a big price.
Prediction
Jablonec’s form may have dipped recently, but they have the quality and tactical flexibility to pull out a result against their closest rivals in the race for European qualification.
