Pardubice – Zlin

Pardubice host Zlin in what promises to be a decisive clash at the bottom of the table, with the home side perched on 13th place and five points from one win, two draws and five defeats, having scored seven and conceded thirteen. Zlin arrive on a barren run of eight straight losses, still on zero points and a bleak goal difference of seven for and eighteen against, languishing in 16th. The gap in points and form suggests Pardubice will look to consolidate their fragile foothold above the relegation zone, while Zlin will be desperate to snap their winless streak and earn a vital point. A victory for the hosts could lift them a step closer to safety, whereas a Zlin upset would dramatically reshape the bottom three.
