Slovan Liberec – Baník Ostrava

Slovan Liberec host Baník Ostrava at the Stadion U Nisy with the second‑placed side looking to extend their strong start to the season. Liberec sit on 20 points after six wins, two draws and three defeats, boasting a solid +13 goal difference (13 scored, 7 conceded). Ostrava, languishing in 13th place with just 11 points from three victories, two draws and six losses, will need to tighten a leaky defence that has yielded 18 goals while only finding the net seven times. The clash pits Liberec’s potent attack against a struggling Ostrava side that has struggled to convert chances, setting the stage for a potentially one‑sided encounter. A win for the home team would cement their push for the top spots, while Ostrava will be desperate for points to climb out of the lower half.
