Pardubice
- Pardubice have won four of their last five games and are on a current three-game winning streak.
- Pardubice are ninth in the 1. Liga 2025-2026 standings with 38 points from 29 games and Zlín are tenth with 34 from the same number of matches, so this is a game of the free fallers and improvers.
- Jan Trousil, Pardubice’s manager since October 2025, has brought pace and directness to their play with his players pressing high and wide to get the ball back quickly.

FC Trinity Zlín
- Zlín have lost four of their last five matches but beat Teplice 3-2 in their most recent fixture.
- Zlín are much more of a compact, low-to-medium block team under Bronislav Červenka, who has been their manager since October 2023.
- His teams are disciplined and know the game plan, but they will also frustrate their opponents before breaking quickly on the counter-attack or from set-pieces.
-
Recent stats:
- Zlín have lost two of their last three away games and have no wins in their last two away games, so they will come here hoping to get a result, but Pardubice are the form team.
- Zlín have won 4, drawn 3 and lost 7 away from home, scoring 0.93 goals.
Head-to-Head
Zlín have won twice in their last three visits to Pardubice, but the last meeting between these clubs in the 1. Liga 2025/2026 ended in a 2-2 draw, so we will not take those recent wins into account.
