Slavia (home)
- Saturday's 1. Liga 2026/2027 matchup at Fortuna Arena, Czechia, is shaping up to be a clash between two very impressive sides, both in terms of their respective results and the football they have played this season.

- Slavia are top of the 1. Liga 2026/2027 table with 27 points from 11 games, while Mlada Boleslav are 3rd on 20 points and in hot pursuit.
Mlada Boleslav (away)
- Mlada Boleslav will certainly make it tough for the sešívaní, and have won 3 of their last 5 games across all current competitions, but they have also lost 2, including the most recent away match at Bohemians 1905 (1-0).
- Ales Majer has built a compact 4-2-3-1, the complete opposite of the high-press setup Jindrich Trpisovsky employs at Slavia.
- Mlada's away numbers aren't great, with them averaging just 1.17 goals per game while conceding 2.00 per away game in the 1. Liga 2026/2027, but this has the feel of a competitive trip.
Recent meetings

- Saturday's 1. Liga 2026/2027 matchup at Fortuna Arena, Czechia, is shaping up to be a clash between two very impressive sides, both in terms of their respective results and the football they have played this season.
Men to watch
- Wiktor Nowak has been Slavia's main threat this season with 5 1. Liga 2026/2027 goals so far.
- The Polish striker is the leading scorer with 5 from 9, but Ivan Schranz has also been on fire of late with 3 of the club's 8 goals from the last 5.
- Martin Subert has 6 goals in 8 games to lead the scoring for Mlada in the 1. Liga 2026/2027, so he looks the man to watch as the visiting side's primary goal threat.
Odds and markets
- Backing Slavia to win is the obvious play here as they are very obvious favourites at 1.23, with Mlada a massive longshot at 9.4 and the draw coming in at 6.2.

Final call
There will be chances at both ends of the field, but Slavia should have too much quality to let this one slip, so they get our prediction at 2/1 in the draw no bet market.
