Slavia Prague have their sights set on top spot when they travel to Banik Ostrava for their seventh game in the Czech League. Heading into this Saturday encounter, Slavia Prague are second, while their hosts are sixth. Here’s our preview and prediction of the match.

Banik Ostrava’s attention shifts fully to domestic action after failing in the Conference League qualifiers. They went to the international break off the back of two straight draws and a three-game unbeaten run.

In both draws, they’ll feel they should have claimed something more but that’s now water under the bridge. Matej Šin scored a brace against Sigma Olomouc last time out but they conceded a late penalty to see the game end 2-2.

That result left them with just a win in the last four matches, having earlier drawn 0-0 with Karvina.

Slavia Prague also had their lows in Europe but at least they remain in the Europa League after exiting the Champions League. They didn’t take time to rise after losing on aggregate to Lille.

The visitors blanked Pardubice 2-0 before going into the two-week international break. That was their eighth win in the last nine matches and they have just a loss in the 10 matches they’ve played this season.

Jindich Trpišovský’s charges are not just coming here on a good run, they’ve also dominated matches against Banik Ostrava. They have five straight wins in this fixture and when visiting Ostrava, Slavia Prague are unbeaten in seven matches.

In those seven matches away to Banik, they won four and drew three.
