- Slavia Prague are unbeaten at home (W12, D3) in this 1. Liga - Championship Group 2026 season.
- Jindrich Trpisovsky’s Slavia have played some of the best soccer in the country since he took over in January 2018.
- Slavia Prague have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 5.
Sparta Prague
- Sparta Praha are in 2nd place with 66 points from 31 games, 8 adrift of Slavia.

- Slavia and Sparta have played this game twice before in 2025/26 in the 1. Liga, with Slavia winning 3-1 at home some eight weeks ago and the reverse fixture ending in a draw.
Key Players
- Slavia are boosted by the creativity and versatility of their advanced full-backs, but it is David Jurasek who makes it onto our anytime scorer predictions after netting 1 in 1 Championship Group appearance.
- Jan Kuchta has netted 3 in Sparta’s last 5 matches and is their best out-and-out forward, but Albion Rrahmani remains Sparta’s top scorer in the Championship Group with 1 goal from 1 game.
Betting Insights
- Slavia are clear favorites here at 1.84 and I am happy to support them to extend their dominance of this local rivalry.
- Sparta have conceded 12 goals in 15 away league games, and Slavia score an average of 2.33 goals per home game, hitting 35 times in 15 league games.
- The odds for Over 2.5 goals are 1.83, so I think there is no value there.
- Both teams to score - No is priced at 2.02, so I will be backing that selection, as I think that at least one of these two defenses will hold firm.
Prediction
- Prague derby to go to Slavia.
- This is a huge game and will be full of tactical battles and battles of ego, but one thing is certain, the hosts will have plenty of the ball!
