Sparta Prague’s defence of the Czechia title will start with a home game against Pardubice on Friday. Coming here on the back of a strong run last season, Zelezná Sparta will be favorites to bag three points. Let’s have a look at the numbers and a prediction for the match.
The reward for having a great season last term was Sparta Prague’s title winning coach Brian Priske leaving for Feyenoord. Lars Friis is the man to take the champions through the season and he’ll be gunning for a solid start after a lackluster finish to the preseason.
Sparta lost 5-2 to Brøndby before drawing 2-2 with Salzburg in their most recent warm-up games. It will worry the new coach because Sparta had a problem with their defence even in the closing stages of last season. They come here on two clean sheets only in 10 league matches. On a positive note, though, they are unbeaten in 11 league matches.
This is not Pardubice’s favorite outing. In their last nine meetings with Sparta Prague, they were winless. Out of those nine matches, Pardubice avoided defeat on only one occasion – an impressive comeback in 2021 to draw 2-2.
They will, however, take credit in having failed to score just once in those nine meetings. Pardubice last beat Sparta Prague in a cup game in 2015 and there isn’t much indication that they’ll do better here. Their five preseason friendly matches produced no win and their opening league game is akin to baptism by fire.
If it serves any motivation, Pardubice will look at their closing run last season, when they won four of the final five games. However, they struggled away from home, winning just one of their last four league matches on the road.
