Sparta started the season on the wrong foot - an away defeat in which they weren't actually outplayed in any of the key stats. Two big preseason wins aside, the Prague club don't blow teams away that often in competitive football: just two wins by a three-goal margin across the entire spring. Coming off that opening stumble, Sparta will want to be sharper in attack and tighter at the back - and they'll also be managing their legs ahead of the more important Champions League qualifying matches against Lyon.

Fastav Zlín took a defensive approach in their opening match, conceding just one goal. They're unlikely to change that here. It was the same story in preseason - they gave up three or more only twice, but scored in every single game. Given how cautious Sparta tend to be, Zlín should get their chances, but they'll spend most of the match defending.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Sparta have a clear edge in the head-to-head, and Fastav Zlín's defence looks vulnerable - but the trend tells a different story. In 16 of their last 17 away trips to Prague, the visitors haven't lost by a big margin. That's too consistent a pattern to ignore. We think Fastav Zlín avoid another heavy defeat and keep the gap to two goals or fewer. The bet - Fastav Zlín +2 handicap.
