Slavia Praha – Baník Ostrava

Slavia Praha host a struggling Baník Ostrava in what looks like a decisive clash at the top of the table, with the home side perched on 20 points after an unbeaten run of six wins and two draws, boasting a 23‑5 goal difference. Ostrava sit twelfth, having amassed just nine points from three victories and five defeats, and their -10 goal margin underscores the gulf between the two camps. If Slavia can maintain their defensive solidity while continuing to find the net, they are poised to extend their lead over the chasing pack. For Baník, the match offers a rare chance to climb out of the lower half, but they will need to overturn a five‑goal deficit and spark a turnaround against a side that has yet to taste defeat this season.
