Match Outlook: Slavia’s momentum meets Teplice’s stubborn home turf
This Friday’s fixture at Na Stínadlech promises a clear narrative: Slavia Praha arrive as overwhelming favorites while Teplice will lean on home familiarity and recent resilience. The standings tell the opening chapter — Slavia sit top of the table with an imperious 11 wins and six draws from 17 matches, unbeaten and boasting a +23 goal difference (35 scored, 12 conceded). Teplice, 11th and four wins from 17, are a side that grinds out results but lacks the cutting edge to consistently trouble the big guns. Recent form reinforces the gap: Slavia’s run includes commanding victories and multiple clean sheets, while Teplice have alternated results with draws and narrow wins, scraping a 1-0 victory at Bohemians in their last outing.
Tactical edge and statistics that sway the verdict
Numbers back the eye test. Slavia generate almost twice as many shots overall (309 to 166), more than double the shots on target (111 to 59) and an attacks average significantly higher (89.47 vs 77). Their away record is robust — 14 goals away and only seven conceded — and eight clean sheets underline defensive solidity. Teplice’s attack is modest at home: nine goals scored at Na Stínadlech and ten conceded, reflecting a side that can frustrate but often struggles to overturn elite opposition. Head-to-head memory adds weight: the sides met in August with Slavia posting a 3-0 result, a recent reminder of the gulf on form days.
Both teams have moments where both teams score is possible — BTTS figures are mixed — but Slavia’s rate of creating dangerous attacks (76.35) and overall shot dominance suggests they’ll control the match and carve chances. Teplice will hope for set-piece or counter opportunities, with Matous Trmal’s standout display in their last win a spark they’ll try to replicate. On the Slavia side, Mojmír Chytil’s influential rating in the most recent win shows the team’s match-winners can turn a tight contest into a comfortable victory.
