There’s a crucial Czech First League Championship Round clash this weekend as Banik Ostrava host Sparta Prague in what looks to be a beguiling match at the Mestsky Stadion. Banicek have opened up a six-point gap on their opponents in the table and are chasing second spot. The visiting Letensti need a win to haul in their opponents. Check out our prediction for the match below!

Banik sit third in the Czech First League table after 33 games out of 35 played. They have amassed 68 points, the same number as second place Viktoria Plzen, but Banicek have a poor goal difference (+26 compared to +31). Sparta Prague lie one place below Banik in the table in fourth, amassing 62 points from their 33 games.

Coming into this fixture, Banik Ostrava have been in solid form. They have lost one of their last eleven matches, winning eight of those. Their last home match saw a 0-0 draw with Sigma Olomouc, but they bounced back in midweek with a vital 2-1 win away to second-placed Viktoria Plzen to go level on points with their opponents.

In contrast, Sparta Prague have endured a miserable run of form of late, losing five of their last eight and all their last three Championship Round matches. 2-0 away to Viktoria Plzen, 3-1 at home to Jablonec and most recently a 2-1 defeat in the Prague derby away to Champions Slavia Prague.
