Artis – Teplice

Artis host Teplice in what promises to be a stark contrast of fortunes, with the home side languishing in 14th place on just four points from twelve games – a solitary win and a draw amid six defeats, and a worrying 7‑18 goal deficit. Teplice sit comfortably in mid‑table at eighth, having amassed 13 points from four victories, one stalemate and three losses, while their goal balance sits level at 15‑15. The gap in points and form suggests Teplice will enter the encounter as clear favourites, but Artis will be desperate to close the widening gulf and secure their first win of the season. A positive result for the hosts could be pivotal in their battle against relegation, whereas Teplice will look to consolidate their push for a higher finish.
