Jablonec
- Jablonec sit fourth in the 1. Liga - Championship Group 2026 with 52 points from 32 games, while Liberec are 6th with 46 points from the same number of games.
- Both teams have endured poor runs of late, with Jablonec coming into this game with 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats in their last 5 games, while Slovan Liberec have won 1 and lost 4 of their last 5.
- Jablonec have lost their last two away games, shipping 10 goals in the process.
- There’s a contrast in styles here, with Jablonec opting for a narrow 3 - 4 - 2 - 1 formation that looks to control the game from a deep midfield two that presses aggressively and creates attacks quickly.
Liberec
- Liberec have won just one of their last 3 away games.
- Slovan Liberec have gone on a 4-game losing streak, including consecutive away defeats and a home loss to Sparta Praha.
- Radoslav Kovac’s Slovan Liberec are more rigid, preferring to keep it tight in a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 system that prioritises defensive stability, with the visitors often ceding possession and looking to exploit spaces on the counter.
