Preview

Pardubice

• Pardubice are 13th in the 1. Liga 2026-2027 with eight points from nine games;
• The hosts have won three of their last five games and are on a three-game winning run.
• Pardubice have won one, drawn one and lost two in four home games in the 1. Liga 2026/2027, averaging 1.00 goals scored and 1.50 conceded.

• Zlín have played four away, drawing one and losing three, averaging 1.50 scored and 2.50 conceded.

Head-to-Head

• Pardubice have won two of the last three home meetings and their superior form suggests they should add to that record when they take on Zlín on Saturday.
• Pardubice won the last head-to-head 3-1 at home five months ago and, having beaten Zlín twice, they seem to have their number.

Key Players

• Jan Trousil has set his team up in a back three, with wing-backs and some pace on the break, which can be very effective and makes them difficult to get at for long periods.
• But when they get a chance, Pardubice have a little bit of a edge up front, which is evident in the fact that David Krcik is their highest league scorer this term with two goals in four games.
• Marian Pisoja has been Zlín's chief creator in the 1. Liga 2026/2027, providing three assists in eight games, but Daniel Smiga, with two in eight, is his team's top league scorer.
• Tomas Poznar, however, has three of his side's seven goals in their last five.

Betting Insights

• The hosts are the clear favorites at 1.74 for this game, but there is good value in supporting the home team for the win.
• The draw is 3.5 and Zlín are 4.34, so there is some disparity in the odds that doesn't really match the teams' form and the head-to-head record.

Prediction

• The Východočeši are riding a three-game win streak at the moment and, although they are only 13th in the standings, they should be confident about beating a side that have lost nine of ten games.
• But Zlín can keep it close, so the best play here looks to be Pardubice to win and under 3.5 goals.
