Pardubice
- Pardubice have won just 3 of their 13 home matches in the 1. Liga 2025/2026, drawing 5 and losing 5.
- They have failed to win in their last 2 home matches against Sigma, and will need to improve their defensive record if they are to change that record.
- Trousil brought more positional discipline and flexibility to Pardubice from October 2025, allowing them to remain compact in a 4-2-3-1 system, or expand and counterattack in a 4-3-3.
- Pardubice average 0.92 goals scored and 1.69 conceded per home match in the 1. Liga 2025/2026, highlighting defensive issues in front of their own fans.
- So 3 goals looks a distinct possibility.

- SK Sigma Olomouc averages 1.15 goals scored and 1.46 goals conceded per away match in the 1. Liga 2025/2026, suggesting they can score in this game, but are likely to concede as well.
