Zlin – Plzen

Zlin host a struggling Plzeň in what promises to be a stark contrast of form, with the home side languishing at the bottom of the table on 0 points after eight defeats and a meagre 7‑18 goal return. Plzeň sit comfortably in mid‑table, ninth‑placed with ten points from two wins, four draws and just two losses, and a slim positive goal difference of +1 (16 scored, 15 conceded). The visitors will be looking to consolidate their recent surge and climb further up the standings, while Zlin will be desperate for a first point to halt a season‑long slide. Their head‑to‑head record this campaign offers Plzeň a clear psychological edge, but a home crowd boost could make Zlin a dangerous underdog.
