Baník Ostrava – Hradec Králové

Baník Ostrava host Hradec Králové in what promises to be a stark contrast of fortunes on the league schedule. Sitting 12th with nine points from three wins and five defeats, Ostrava have struggled offensively, managing just five goals while conceding fifteen. Their opponents sit near the bottom at 113th, having earned a solitary point from a draw and a loss and scoring three while allowing four. The gap in the table and the disparity in recent form suggest that Ostrava will be looking to tighten up at the back and finally capitalize on their limited firepower, whereas Hradec Králové will hope to scrape at least another point to keep their hopes of avoiding the drop alive.
