Plzen – Slavia Praha

Plzeň host Slavia Praha in what promises to be a stark contrast of form, with the home side sitting tenth on 10 points after two wins, four draws and two defeats, and a modest 16‑15 goal difference. Slavia, perched at the summit with 20 points from an unbeaten run of six victories and two draws, boast a dominant 23‑5 tally and will be keen to extend their flawless record. The disparity in recent results suggests the Czech champions will enter the match as heavy favourites, while Plzeň will look to tighten up a leaky defence that has conceded fifteen goals already. A win for Slavia would further widen the gap at the top, whereas a point for Plzeň could signal a late‑season surge in the crowded midfield.
