Baník Ostrava – Plzen

Baník Ostrava will host Plzeň at the Mestsky stadion in a clash that pits the league’s 13th‑placed side, sitting on 11 points from three wins, two draws and six defeats, against the ninth‑placed visitors who have amassed 16 points from four victories, four stalemates and three losses. Ostrava’s modest goal record of seven for and eighteen against contrasts sharply with Plzeň’s more prolific 23‑19 tally, suggesting the away team enter the game with a clear offensive edge. Both clubs have yet to secure a win in their recent five‑match runs, so the encounter could prove pivotal in the mid‑table scramble. A positive result for Ostrava would narrow the gap to the top half, while Plzeň will look to extend their lead and push toward a top‑six finish.
